This board had to be cut to fit around the top edge of the closet. Dad initially ran it through the band saw, but my measurements were slightly off, so I ended up shaving off more with a hand planer and rasp. Neatened it up a bit with files and sanding:
Finished! The final board was a piece of scrap plywood that only needed a little trimming to fit. It didn't look like the others, so I added it just for fun:
I didn't have a lot of time left, so instead of starting another ceiling area, I wanted to work on something I knew I could finish up. I'd picked up a strip of primed wood a while back. This seemed like a good time to work on that forward shelf.
I started by shaving the edge with a hand planer, then sanding the front and top to even everything up.
Front trim added. It's ready for paint. I still need to get some taller trim for that top edge, as well as decide what to do with that wall. Paint? Wallpaper? Choices...
I need to place another order for more Havelock wool, as there are only two batts left. It would be perfect timing for it to be here by next weekend!
