These shelves we decided to make out of solid wood instead of plywood, because they are going to be used as countertops.

There will be 5 counters altogether, three bigger shelves made of White Oak, and two smaller ones in Sapele.

White Oak laid out on the bench to pick the best ones to use on top, any blemeshes I’ll try to cut off or at least use where they wont be noticed, like on the bottom.

These boards have been planed down and the edges cut on the straightline saw. The picture shows 3 boards glued toghether to make a top panel for one of the shelves.

On the table just about to go through the straightline saw.

Pressed for time, the glue dries faster in the sun.

One of the panels on the saw to be trimmed to size.

In the spay booth ready for lacquer.

Back from the spray booth, dry and ready to go.

Onto the truck and off to Washington DC. Adios!
