Michigan Key Shelf
Now that the addition is done our car, tractor and other keys were being stored quite a ways away from the door that we use everyday. Changed that by making a car key shelf, with a drawer for miscellaneous items, that is hung under a (mural?) of the Michigan lower peninsula, aka. Michigan Mitten, with a walnut monogram G for the first letter of our last name.

This project was completed mostly from some dimension maple with a touch of black walnut for the monogram inlay. I began the process, like most of my projects, at the miter saw. It seems like all my projects start at the miter saw but when I actually stop and think about it the actual step is breaking larger material down into more manageable pieces, my tool of choice for that is the miter saw. For others it could be a circular saw, jig saw or even a sawzall.
Once my pieces were not 8 feet long anymore I moved over to the bandsaw where I resawed the boards to maximize the yield from the wood that I was using. After resawing was complete and because the boards were pretty flat to begin with I skipped over the typical step of jointing and moved right to the planer to get things flat and parallel.
I then glued up a panel for the mitten and found a usable .sgv file to import into Easel to make the cut on the CNC machine. I also used the built in app in Easel (which is a free program BTW) to create in inlay cut for the monogram G.
All the parts for the shelf and drawer were cut on the table saw and box joints were cut using the John Heisz design box joint jig I made a few years ago.

Glued up all the parts and sanded everything with 120 up to 220grit. Finished with General Finishes EnduroVar sprayed with an HVLP sprayer.
