About The Site

Our home in the country is quite private and so we do not have any window coverings.  My wife wants some simple shutters for the guest bathroom.  So I have started to experiment when I have some free shop time.

These are made of Spanish cedar with a single coat of Sikkens Cetol natural stain.   The joinery is mortise and tenon with the tenons being on the stiles.  I made the very simple panels using a 3/4″ straight bit so the panels would be flush with the frame.  I shaped the top rails and also gently scored the panels to add a little character.

For my next version I will cut slits in the panels to allow more light..

The ones below are made of pine and the panels are made using my panel router bit set.  I found these too tall, but otherwise would be suitable.  Quite simple to make.
