Scrapwood Shelf & Tray

As if crafted from scraps of wood, this shelf / tray is a clever way to add dimension to a table, garden wall and more. Sit it on the floor or hang it, LOD 2 will keep it looking good and the primitive vine stencil tintable texture will keep it cute.

A very versatile piece

Set up here as a potting tray with seed packs & tools
 Waiting for you and your imagination at the Trowix Barn
...or you can get free delivery from SL's Marketplace.


Have a fantastic weekend!
