Very impressive… Love the floating shelves that can be adjusted… neat idea…

-- Be safe.

I really like these shelves. I’ve never seen any like it.

I really like the flow of the piece. I love it when a piece of wood speaks to you and tells you what it wants to be made into.

Very unique.
Great idea with the adjustable shelf.
What thickness of stock did you use for this?

Thanks everyone. Grandma was the best. I’m glad to know that others appreciate the shelf made in her honor.

SASmith- The main vertical spine is roughly 5/4 (1 1/2”) and the shelves are roughly 3/4.

This is a really great idea. I like how the hardware to hang it is hidden and am also impressed that a simple dado (as opposed to a sliding dovetail joint) holds the shelves in place.

The design of your shelf really is perfect for the glass collection. Your artistic use of wood grain and shape makes this floating shelf a thing of beauty!

Doug McPherson, Thanks for the stock size. I will be on the lookout for a unique “spine”.

I’m not sure if it’s the shelf that compliments the glass or the glass that compliments the shelf but the two of them sure work exquisitly together. Very well done.
The way wood expands and contracts, I could never trust not having the shelves secured somehow. Just way too risky supporting glass and the potential consequences if one doesn’t hold.
