Saw this easel on ebay. Watched it end at over $1,450. Figured it was cool design. I’m putting it on my reverse-engineer design and build to-do list.

Thought I would share the photos and even challenge someone else to make one too.

Auction described it as a LIMBERT design. It must be very rare, because I’m never seen or heard of anything like it.

The wingnuts to hold the shelves in place is a unique idea.

On this piece, the wood appears to be rift sawn red oak. I think it would look even better inqte sawn white oak or some other exotic wood,... elm, walnut, curly maple, mahogany or sapele.

piece is an Oskar Onken “Shop of the Crafters” (Cincinnati, OH) etagere. It dates from the early 1900’s,

Great project, Dan. I grew up near McMaster-Carr. Used to buy stuff there almost everyday at work.

Looks like a nice project, Dan. I wouldn’t mind getting $1600 off Ebay for something like this!!! :)

Nice post, Dan. This is a “different” piece. Some of the Limbert pieces are. Limbert is one of the less known craftsman from the Arts & Crafts era. The Stickley brothers seem to get all of the attention. I have a Limbert catalog, but this piece isn’t in it. I’ll have to favorite it. Thanks.
