Shelves are finished! Hung using hand carved walnut dowels (always experimenting 😊).

@aa Good work! It looks really nice.

@MrHenko thank you!

@aa Beautiful work 👍🏻 The dowels definitely add to the design. I’d be interested in how differently they perform over time vs the typical plastic anchor + metal screw. Living in an intensely humid climate, I’ve become a lot more aware of how my house expands and contracts with the seasons and weather.

@gregmoore thank you and agreed with seeing how they perform as the seasons change. We have all four here, so may be interesting. Hoping not though 😂

@aa Nice. The dowels go into wall studs, I'm guessing. Also, what is that gorgeous tool?

@JMaxB yep, directly into the stud! Two per shelf, so pretty sturdy :-) the knife in the foreground is a simple woodworking knife. The guy in the background is my favorite wheel marking gauge.
