MacKenzie Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 Lucky friend, I love walnut. It is beautiful and just wait for it mellow, it will only be more beautiful. 👍👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonj Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 Beautiful work. I especially like the attention to the grain patterns throughout the piece. Do I see a little craftsman mark above the top shelf in the upper right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syzygies Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 (edited) Beautiful! Back in the shallow end of the swimming pool, I'm also fond of guerrilla woodworking. At our daughter's previous house in Salem, Oregon, working outside in her carport next to pouring rain with minimal tools, watching the wood warp in real time as I worked. I rejected dado cut joints in favor of explicit shelf supports I could clamp the shelves onto, taking out cupping as I screwed them in. Back went on last. Serviceable, and they made the move to her new house in Arizona. Edited September 13 by Syzygies 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
