What happens here
Take a smaller piece of ash wood (the same material as the floating shelves). On the top surface, apply a stencil of a decorative pattern (e.g., olive branches). Use a plunge router with a V-groove bit to carve out this pattern to a shallow depth. Mix two-part epoxy (2 parts resin, 1 part hardener) and a few drops of turquoise pigment, then pour it into the carved pattern. Allow it to cure overnight, then sand down the excess epoxy, leaving the colored epoxy flush with the wood surface. On the back side of this shelf, trace the outline of a wireless charging pad. Use a router to carve out a recess approximately 1/2 inch deep to snugly fit the charging pad. Secure the charging pad in place with double-sided tape (rather than epoxy for easy replacement). Finally, mount this shelf over a USB charging outlet on the wall using screws.
Goal: Create a small, decorative shelf from ash wood. Rout out a recess on the underside to perfectly fit a wireless charging pad, and carve a decorative pattern on the top using a router and epoxy.
