Walnut and White Oak Bookshelf

Sorry it’s fuzzy – too lazy to rephotograph, natural wood edge which has become a fun detail.

Looks great! Thanks for sharing.

Not sure why, but I think now I realize I don’t see white oak combined with walnut all that often.

Your own design? Did you do this in a class? Were your spokeshaves used for the curved legs?

Like a contemporary green and green. :-)

I got the general design from “Wood” I think (don’t quite remember), with some tweaking – breadboard ends on shelves and the side panels.

I love curved legs and usually just use a handplane at an angle but needed the spokeshave at a couple pointsbecause the curve was a little much – spokeshave was mostly on the bottom stretchers though.

Thanks!

I like this piece, very clean and the one live edge adds character, nicely done.

I really like this, graceful curves, nice contrast with the oak and then the beautiful walnut shelves, very nicely done.

With your permission I might steal your idea and make it my own for my library. :-)
