Do you remember the Snoop Sisters, Mom?  I bet you'd remember THIS episode! I've been searching for a good quality clip of this...

Bookcase Doors

I started a new project (aside from house upkeep and car issues)

My bookcase in my room doesn't have doors and I want doors. Solution - make them.

I got a half sheet of thin plywood, cut lengthwise in half.  Stencil a design on the boards and decide what to do after that.

Final stencil - large design on the outside, smaller on the inside and NOT centered.  Trim also picked out

I had the idea to drill out the solid circles in the pattern.  I then took a dremel and finished the edges of each drilled hole.

Next came the decision whether to drill out the lines down a level in the plywood or wood-burn the design along with the drilled holes.  A test showed that the wood-burning is the way to go.

So, now comes the LONG part of the project - wood burning the design

Then will come the sanding and staining

Then the trim work

Then hanging them (already have the hardware purchased)
