This workshop photo captures the early stages of creating a rustic wood heart curio shelf using a scroll saw. Laid out on a sturdy workbench are printed paper patterns attached to an oak board, featuring rows of stylized heart shapes, shelves with striped interiors indicating grain direction. Patterns are created on my computer and printed on label paper, eliminating the need for spray adhesives.
 
The heart shelf has seven shelves. I cut extra shelves from the remaining wood and keep the leftover shelves to use on the next shelf. If I have enough on hand when making the next shelf, I can use the wood for something else. I have another style shelf that will fit on this board. I try to arrange the patterns to use the expensive wood as efficiently as possible.

There's something special about creating handmade items that hold a personal touch. Recently, I had the opportunity to create a unique piece that I'm sharing with you: my handmade wooden heart shelf, crafted from beautiful walnut wood. 

Typically, I create these charming shelves from oak, known for its durability and beautiful grain. However, one of my customers had a specific vision in mind; she requested a shelf stained a particular color. As much as I appreciate a good stain, I prefer to work with the natural beauty of the wood. So, I presented an alternative: a heart shelf made from walnut.

The result? A piece that showcases the rich, warm tones of the walnut, combined with the sweet charm of a heart-shaped design. The customer was thrilled, which truly made my day.

I'm pleased to announce that you can now order these heart shelves in both walnut and oak. Whether you're looking for a unique way to display your trinkets, photos, or other small treasures, these handcrafted shelves add a touch of warmth and love to any space.
