a new kitchen shelf
Just completed a new shelf in the kitchen, somewhere for the cup of tea making stuff to live and the spice jars.
Here's a few pics of said shelf from start to nearly ready to install...more to resize tomorrow night.
All the hoop pine timber is salvaged in some way, tip wood pile or reclaimed from an old kitchen cabinet.

repairs to a knot hole...should have used a daker filler in the bit of tearout around the knot hole or allowed the epoxy to flow out a bit more

more pics of the shelf
The finished shelf in place, I made it so as to match the existing cabinets in the kitchen.
The moulding around the top was a bit fiddly, I coped the ends of the long piece.
It finished up OK me thinks.

That was quick.
How long did you take on thinking out the plan on what it was going to look like with the slope on the ceiling?

The slope did make the shelf a bit more involved, but it's just an angle, a bit of trig or a pattern and that's solved, the right hand side was where I wasn't sure what I was going to do, how to fit it around the existing trim and quad
, I just decided to make the moulding wide enough to cover any gaps, I look at it now and say...I should have made the right hand side stile in the rear panel as wide as the blue trim, would have made it a whole lot easier to fit the moulding, got there in the finish
