🌟Curved walnut shelves with copper accents provide a unique and stylish storage solution.
🔨Techniques such as beveling and sandwiching Baltic birch plywood add texture and visual interest to the shelves.
🎨The combination of walnut and orange adds a pop of color to the shelves.
🔩Using solid walnut instead of glued-up panels simplifies construction and enhances durability.
⚙️Installing aluminum L-channel for mounting the shelves adds stability and makes them easy to level.
What inspired you to use walnut and copper in this project?
—I wanted a warm and rich wood like walnut for the shelves, and copper accents add a touch of elegance and visual interest.
What challenges did you face when constructing the curved shelves?
—Aligning the beveled plywood layer with the top layers required precision and careful planning to achieve a seamless look.
Why did you choose to use solid walnut instead of glued-up panels?
—Solid walnut provides more stability and durability, and avoids potential issues with glue joints in curved structures.
What is the purpose of the aluminum L-channel on the back of the shelves?
—The aluminum L-channel serves as a mounting solution, providing stability and ease of installation, while also allowing for leveling adjustments.
Can I use different materials or colors for this project?
—Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different woods, colors, or materials to customize the shelves to your own design preferences.
