Birdseye Maple

On 5/25/2020, I pulled out a small piece of birdseye maple on my wood shelves - 1/4"x2 1/2"x16" and developed my plans which I changed on 6/7/2020.  I did the layout on 6/7 and cut and assembled; on 6/8 I drilled hole on verticals, sanded faces, and cut corners.  On 6/9 I sanded edges and stained with Puritan Pine, bringing out the beauty of the wood.  If dry tomorrow, I will add a coat of poly.

Small batches are very enjoyable to make; cutting corners and sanding edges can be boring with a large batch.
ready to start
