Floating Shelves

Nice Looking Shelves!

Great finish on the Poplar!

your look great and I second Lew's comment about the nice finish. I like the statues too.

Great shelves. Nice details in the edges.

Would have never guesed poplar from the pics! Great finnish job.

Keep it up.

Scrappy

Very nice. I am always curious re: floating shelves. With the design and installation, how much do you think each one could hold? (always paranoid I will overload mine!)

Very nice shelves well built and super finish

Thanks everyone.

mtkate: My shelves are hung using a french cleat. The smaller shelf has two anchors, and one screw into a stud. The larger one has three anchors, and two screw into studs. Depending on what type of anchors are used, I think they would hold just about anything that could fit on them (except a pile of bricks or something).
