    Christmas corner shelf

    This is corner shelf unit I made for my step son to give to his wife for Christmas. It stands a little over 6 ft tall and 12 in wide at the base.
    Made out of red oak, and red oak ply.
    This was my first piece of something close to furniture to come from my very modest basement shop.
    Alot of lessons learned here.
    With all the hustle of the holiday I did not get a chance to take pictures of it, so I asked that they send me one.
    So now that I figured out how to resize the emailed picture, here it is.
    All critiques welcome.
    Thank you for looking.

    I think you re-sized it too small. I hard to strain to see it but looks like it turned out well and they already have it loaded up so you have to call it a success!

    I can't seem to make it bigger. I recieved it as an email attachment and resized it with paint to get to upload.

    Having it filled with stuff means you can't see the mistakes as easily.

    Too small for these eyes too but it looks nice.
    You should convert it over to jpeg. If you want, email me the full size bmp and I'll convert it for you.

    I like, I have two of those on my "to-do" list and I really should get on it.

    I would like to see a larger picture myself, zooming in it gets a bit fuzzy.

    Looks great Matt.
    Did you get my return email last night?

    Thanks Bruce,
    I forgot I had my wife email set into the creek. Didn't think to check there till you said something.
    I finally got it figured out after I got to work. Just needed some sleep I guess.
