Floating shelf under TV
Live edged elm shelf with mahogany supports and trim. There’s cable space behind. Elm is gorgeous to look at and fun to work with. Since it’s over a radiator I put reflective insulation on the underside. Finished with Tung Oil and paste wax.

Beautiful, excellent job. Good thinking on the insulation for the underside.

Elm is brilliant, it’s like a hardwood when you saw it but like cedar when you plane it. You need deadly sharp blades and my scraper is now an 1/8" smaller than when I started (sharpen, scrape, sharpen, scrape). The scraper was the tool to remove the “hairs” and once gone, such a wonderful, waxy, wavy surface.
