The design and construction of the cedar shoe rack is a little bite different from a cabinet and also from commercial cedar shoe racks as viewed / sold on the Internet. Since the shelves are inserted and glued into a dado joint on the side panels, it requires precise measurement and tools that can cut accurate angles and widths. The shelves are also glued to the front and back panel. The angle of cut goes back to your basic geometry calculations. In this case the builder used a 30/60/90 triangle for ease of measurement and cutting. After construction the wood is stained to the liken of the builder. After the stain is dried /cured, regular furniture polish oil is applied and left to dry.
After careful planning, building, staining etc the shoe rack fits in the place designed for and the color is perfectly matched to the console table.
