Plate Shelf, early american country

I just finished my latest project. It is an early American plate rack. If has two grooved shelves for plates. A top shelf and under the rack are pegs. I made this from clear pine. Most of the detail was cut on the band saw. I used an oak stain first, then painted it barn red using latex paint.

I sanded and roughed up that a bit before finishing using a black latex paint. Letting some red show through. I then applied a coat of wax.

My wife had me hang it in our kitchen. This is an easy weekend project. Looks good an can be finished in colors as well as natuaral.
