Popular Post Gerald Posted December 20, 2017 Popular Post Report Posted December 20, 2017 Started on this back in the summer and had it shelved til some other things got done. Son bought a new house in NC and Dil wanted shelves to match stair rail. So we went and found this mahogany 14 foot by20 inch by 2. Had to cut it to get into his suburban. Then I get the"privilege" to bring it home to work on. Took them til last month to decide on shelf brackets . Yes I am making those too. Ordered the stain that was used for existing Cabot mahonany flame in the old oil formula ( read the new is WB and not good). It is labeled outdoor use only, must be a CYOA. So got the stain on today and waiting for decision on clear. The second pic is prototype bracket. p_toad, Cal, Harry Brink and 2 others 5 Quote

Gerald Posted December 21, 2017 Author Report Posted December 21, 2017 Lew Nice brackets. I tried to get her to let me embellish these, but she wants plain and straight as the house is like that. Cal 1 Quote
