Hi everybody, I have been hanging around here for a while now, and thought I would post some of my projects.
My wife wanted a simple shelf to store notebooks in on her desk, this what I made. This made from white oak. and walnut and rosewood. It is 22’ W, 18’ H, and 10’ deep.
I picked out this piece of oak for book matched grain, and put it on the end that would show. I guess my wife was not as thrilled with it as I was.
She really does like the shelf.
Thanks for looking, I will be posting more projects now that I have learned how to do photos.

the feet and caps are a nice diversion from the book matched ends

Looks like she likes 100% of it. No wasted space says that.
I liked the bookmatch for what it’s worth.
