HOW TO:

  • Get the marble and the hardwood to be the same thickness and width. If you’re lucky, you may come across a piece of marble and hardwood that matches perfectly! Otherwise, it’s best to use a planer to shave down the wood for thickness.
  • Next, if your combo isn’t a puzzle-piece-fit, measure and cut the hardwood accordingly.
  • Measure and cut your piece of birch plywood to be the same size as the marble and hardwood when placed together.
  • Take your sand paper and sand the heck of out it for awhile.
  • Add a light coat of glue to both ends of the marble and wood. Let Dry. Add another coat of glue and place the two pieces together. Note: you might want to tape to avoid any glue over the edges.
  • Glue the birch plywood to the back of the combined marble and wood pieces. Wipe off any excess glue.
  • Gather all those heavy, hardcover books off your bookshelf and let dry overnight.
  • To finish, coat in mineral oil and attach bumpers to the bottom four corners.
