Walnut Live Edge Shelf

Walnut Live Edge Shelf
This is a shelf for a bathroom.  Sort of a Japanese inspired design.

Japanese woodcut of a tanuki family below.
Lots of little pieces.

Live edge and air dried walnut slab.


The 'curl' in the grain that I like so much is caused by compression as the tree grows.  See the wrinkles?

Here is the 'figure'.

Air Dried walnut has way more color than kiln dried.

Parts were made from Sapele wood to provide contrast.

First coat of oil.







I had to rig a way to get one edge straight.

This shows the braces and back.

A mock up to see if it all fits.
