How do I make a Branch Shelf?

Step 1: Find an appropriately sized and shaped branch. Carefully trim any oversized knots from the back of the branch with the hand saw (Grownups only).

Step 2: Find your wall studs. Drill pilot holes into branch that match up with the position of the studs (use drywall anchors if no wall studs are available).
