A friend of a friend asked me to reimagine a previously installed built-in into something modern but still personal. He had originally asked a carpenter to make some shelves, but they sagged under the weight of the books. Since his wife is from Brazil, I chose 5/4 Ipe board to give the project a subtle familial connection. I built seven floating shelves, keeping the design clean without compromising strength. To make sure they wouldn’t bow over time, I added 1/8" brass stock along the back edge at full shelf height. He wanted a touch of class without anything gaudy, so the brass serves as a quiet detail and adds flex resistance. For the finish, I used a beeswax mix that brought out the depth of the Ipe grain and left a smooth, understated sheen—while avoiding any oil or finish bleeding onto book pages. I’m happy with how it turned out. What do you think?

Hello everyone does anybody use arm protective sleeves? My arms are getting beat up with bruises and scrapes does anyone have suggestion besides wearing long sleeve shirts?

This was my first attempt to build “nice” furniture suitable for a living room. My daughter asked me to make her a pair of nested end tables. All I had for a design was a picture she downloaded off of the internet. I wanted to use some oak I had on hand that was rough cut at 1” thick and 8” wide. I milled it to about 3/4” thick and 7” wide. Then I doubled it up to get the desired thickness and joined 3 boards abreast to get the dimensions I needed. As a result each side and top consisted of 6 boards. I cut a mitered butt joint to bring all the pieces together. X 4. I finished with a stain and polyurethane to protect the wood from her young children. The result were 2 beautiful sets of nested end tables.
