My wife loves this shelf. Thank you so much for the plans! I made mine using Aspen and an Early American stain. Now I need  to make 2 more. 

Estimated Cost
$10-15
Estimated Time Investment
Afternoon Project (3-6 Hours)
Finish Used
Pre-stain conditioner, wait one hour, then Early American stain. Let sit overnight, very light sand ( I used 600 grain) and stain again. Let dry and I put two coats of semi-gloss urethane to give slight shine.
