Just finished this morning, this new wall lamp is named "Morning Stretch" because it reminds me of a person stretching in the morning. Mountain laurel with clear shellac finish. 33" high and 24" wide. Mounts to the wall with two hidden screws in keyhole slots cut into the wood (see picture of...

Sorry for the poor quality pictures… all I had with me was my phone. This is one of two shelf sets I built for the living room of my cabin. The shelves themselves are ordinary cheap pine. The bracket is a piece of mountain laurel. The laurel branch is cut where it passes through each shelf...
