Live Edge Walnut Shelves For Laundry Room

I purchased three great live edge walnut boards at a flea market.

At $10 each, they were a steal. 

I used the first one this weekend.

First I sanded it, until my belt sander gave out.

Then I stained it with a walnut color (to bring out the walnut!)

The above pic shows before and after staining.

 Then I tried a danish oil finish for the first time.

My husband had made these brackets years ago for the other house.

I stained them darker to go with the walnut board.

We cut the walnut board down the center because we

needed two shallow shelves. Here is a sneak peak
after we put them up in the laundry room.
Stay tuned for a full-on tour of the laundry room.
