Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can I use a different type of wood?

Absolutely! Feel free to use whatever wood you prefer or have on hand. However, if you choose a softer wood, it may be more prone to wear and tear.

Q2: Can I add extra shelves to the rack?

Of course! The beauty of this DIY project is that it’s completely customizable. You can add as many shelves as you need to accommodate your spice collection.

Q3: Do I need to stain and finish the wood?

Not necessarily. It really depends on your personal preference. Staining and finishing can give the spice rack a more polished look, but it’s completely optional.
