How To Make Mountain Shelves DIY

In this video I show how I made these mountain shelves. These are slightly different from a standard triangular shelf. I made these 15.5 inches tall and 13 inches wide. In my case, the top angle is 45 degrees and the bottom angles are 22.5 degrees. If you made all sides in equal lengths 30 degrees would most likely be the angle you're shooting for.
I used old cedar boards ripped to 2" widths. I used the worn outside edges facing out for a barn wood look. I made a template to figure out my angles. If you have an angle finder that would be handy. In my case I cut a wooden template for a visual and to help find my angles on the miter saw.
I then layed out each board and cut to size using my template. I used wood glue and brad nails to secure it together. lastly , I cut a thin piece of partical board to look like an ice cap and secured it with glue and nails as well. After I painted the top it was all done!

This is really creative stuff! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! I wish I could take all the credit. My wife saw them online and wanted me to whip them up for the baby room so I did!

Clever idea for shelves. Like Christofix below, I like the snow top idea. Are the shelves seasonal in which you switch shelves out for a different style in the summer? A beach theme would be cool.

[@WayWoodworking]

Thank you! No they aren't seasonal, but that's a great idea! I'll be looking for the video on your channel! 😉
