No big story here, just a chunk of burl I got off ebay for 10 bucks. It wasn’t nice enough to slice up into something special so it’s just a shelf. I like French Cleat style to hang things.

May not have been nice enough, but it sure makes a different looking shelf. Nice ingenuity, what’s a French Cleat? your brother in woodworking John

Hi Dooley,

This certainly is an interesting looking shelf. It adds a unique touch to the room’s decor.

Nice idea.

it’s the french cleat style for hanging cabinets, but I’ve used it to hang a ton of things. Hope this picture helps you see how it’s constructed,
