What happens here
Cut 3/4 inch plywood panels for the top, bottom, and front pieces of the floating shelf sleeves. Miter the front edge of the top and bottom pieces and the top and bottom edges of the front piece at 45 degrees to create seamless wrapped corners when assembled. Assemble these three pieces using wood glue and brad nails, reinforced with painter's tape to hold joints while drying. Once dry, fill any imperfections with wood filler, sand smooth with 220-grit sandpaper, and apply a semi-transparent weathered oak stain to match other elements. Allow to dry, then carefully slide the finished sleeves over the pre-installed shelf frames on the wall. Secure them with brad nails from the top or bottom edges into the frame.
Goal: Cut plywood panels to form 'sleeves' that will slide over the installed shelf frames, mitering edges for a seamless look, then stain and install them.
