The design for this week's project was one I made a while ago thinking about doing medallion pieces or shadow boxes. I originally started this for St. Patrick's day because of the four leaf clover. In going back through my sketchbook I saw the design again and wanted to make it but as a corner bookcase.
I took some pieces of Birch Plywood and transferred the design. I used my band saw to cut out the pieces.
I glued and assembled them together. With the original design now folded in half it brings another element to it.
After the glue was dry I sanded the whole piece and decided to paint it black. The piece is 20 inches tall and 10 inches wide.
As you can see it fits quite nicely in a corner. One thing that is hard to show in a picture is something that is painted black. This was the best I could capture, but in person when you stand back it almost looks like there is a hole in the corner of the wall. It really is an interesting piece. If you were wondering all that is holding it up in this picture is super glue. I'll have some wall patching to do when I pull it off later.
This project will be in the Gallery showing at the end of the 52 weeks.
