book shelves

Interesting use of materials. Pretty Nice!

It’s a unique design. I like the use of contrasting materials in the construction. Great job.

Can the pulls rotate in the darker wood or are they epoxied? Also perhaps you weren’t smoking anything but I think all that second hand stuff affected you more than you realize ;-)

Pulls as connectors is an pretty cool idea! It’s eye catching and … uh … interesting.

Damian, yes the poles rotate, They’re only ‘hanging’ in the mahogany legs. The legs are only held against the shelves by the two mahogany plates that are between each pair. The whole contraption is locked together by the center ‘Z’ shaped shelf which takes the sheer force. If the center shelf were flat it would just fall over.

You’re probably right, Boulder may have permanently affected my brain.

How does it handle a load?

Ed, it’s pretty sturdy but it does have a noticeable side to side wobble. It’s not something I would sell to anyone but It works for me.

I like you table, and was think about a center piece there are a number of things you could do here. If the concrete is a problem. There is always granite, marble, and silestone these all can be found at counter top shops I happen to work in one. Granite is pretty heavy though it usually weighs about 25lbs a sqft and it comes in 3cm and 2cm. 3cm is probably the most common it is 1 1/4in thick. If you have enough clearance for that I would go to a plumbers shop and tell them you need install kit for an under-mount sink these are stainless steel brackets really low profile that you could use they come with anchors for granite(At our shop we don’t use these anchors because our installers would have to drill on site we just toss them in the corner of our sink room). If you do go to a shop ask if you can look through their bone-yard. They will be able to cut it to any shape or size. If they ask you if you want an edge put on it just get a flat polish this will give you a polished edge but just a sightly eased edge. granite cost anywhere from 30 and up a sqft. If this is to heavy check into corian it also is a solid surface that is a resin base made by DuPont it came out in the 70’s. Another Idea is to actually do it in a contrasting wood and actually raise it above the existing surface about 1/2in as a serving area.
