My fiancee wanted a shelf to display her vintage cardboard farm animals. These probably came from a play set from the middle part of the last century.
I made this shelf unit out of pine and cut grooves into the shelves to hold the pieces, which are made of heavy cardboard about 1/4" thick with a glossy paper surface. It is very simple construction using butt joints glued up using biscuits. It is painted with a Rustoleum vintage red, then gently distressed and sanded. The backing is chicken wire.
I must say she was very satisfied with the result.
