Promised to add this if the camping forum got going, so here is:

I'm building a Kitchen shelf for my M416 trailer, which is not complete yet, but I'll add some teaser pics now and post up the final product once finished. The actual build thread is on http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/69773-M416-Trailer-Kitchen-Shelf-build/, so I won't try to duplicate that here.

Sweet!

Guessing it'll pin/peg together?

What's your plan for finish? (SPAR varnish, urethane, paint)

Nice work, Ralph!!!

Thanks guys. Have been thinking of Thompson's water seal, as the tabs and slots are such a tight fit (so no pins/pegs needed), that I don't think anything truely waterproof like epoxy would work. I've thought of food grade stuff like Linseed or Mineral oil, but they don't dry completely. Tung oil is a possibility (http://www.realmilkpaint.com/oil.html) but would require retreating the wood a bit more frequently than I'd like. Probably Thompson's...
