5 years ago, I was given a couple big ol hunks of walnut. At the time, I decided to use 1 of them as a skateboard rack, which was admittedly kind of a waste of such a beautiful piece of wood, haha. Then, I just let the other one sit in storage in case we thought of a reason to use it someday. Well, our new kitchen called for a floating shelf, so I decided to give it a shot.
