A customer moved into their new home and then entrusted us with the task of adding custom, floating shelves. The hubby did all of the work on this one (with a little assistance from our son) and it turned out great!
We obtained ash wood slabs from another woodworker (our ash wasn't sufficiently dried at the time of the order). The raw wood was cut to size and sanded.
Then, the hubby started the process of installing them.
To be honest, I didn't listen to all of the details of the installation process as this is the hubby's area of expertise and the descriptions start to sound to me like the teacher on the Charlie Brown cartoons. However, I did understand that in order to give the shelves more stability and strength, he built the frame and then wrapped them to give them the look of one solid slab.
The final project turned out great! The shelves look like they were just wedged into place, but they have the strength to hold multiple items of the owner's choice. The natural wood matches the other wood accents, and the entire effect displays a style of farmhouse elegance.
Great looking shelves. Didn’t know Barry was so talented. It’s wondergul that his skills are being passed along to the kifs
