Egg Shelf

Here's a small shelf which started out life as two shelves. Featuring an elliptical edge, a matching backing was added. With the scroll saw cutout filled with thin vertical pieces. It's all heartwood of the longleaf pine, and Titebond glue. The slats were cut off an old joist with a circular saw, then hand planed and scraped flat. Sanding blocks were used in three grits to 220 within some intermediary stages. It was finished with a little too much diluted violin varnish, which I softened with 0000 copper wool.
