Three Peaks Mountain Shelf

I have seen lots of these mountain shelves on Pinterest and thought I would have a go at making one for myself.
I wanted to use reclaimed pallet wood for this project but I did not have any wide enough. So the first thing I did was to joint one edge of some boards and then put some glue on them.
I spread the glue out then clamped all the boards together. These could be left over night to dry.
The next day I ran the boards through the table saw to get them the same width and then through the planner to get them all the same thickness.
I experimented with angles to get the peaks looking how I wanted. In the end I went for a 30’ angle and cut these on the mitre saw.
I started joining the peaks together using wood glue and brad nails.
I could attach the first mountain to the base and then add the second peak.
The third peak got attacked and then I gave the shelf a sand down.
I wanted my mountains to have snow caped peaks so I painted them with chalk paint. I applied lots of paint and allowed it to run down the mountains.
I let it dry then gave it a coat of clear wax. I hung the shelf on the wall and filled it with some of life’s essentials.
