Small Wall Shelf with Hooks

Transfer the scroll pattern to both 1x8 sides and cut with a jigsaw, making sure both ends match, and sand any rough areas. Your 1x8s may vary slightly in width, so plan to cut shelves and trim to the actual assembled dimensions.

Attach the shelves to the sides — pocket holes, or 2" finish nails/screws and glue. Leave a 10" space between the shelves.

If you want the center partition, fasten it in place with 2" finish nails and glue (pocket holes won't fit here). Then attach the 1x6 base, fastening to the bottom shelf as well as the sides for strength.

Add the front crown with 1-1/4" finish nails and glue, then the end pieces cut to fit (your 1x8s vary, so measure). Attach the 1/4" back to square the unit.

Miter the cove moulding corners at 45° (keep it to 3/4" x 3/4" or smaller for the scale) and glue and tack it on with 1-1/4" nails. Mount the hooks, sand, and finish. Hang by screwing through the 1x6 base into a wall stud.
