Thanks people!
George: I'm not a big fan of the cathedral grain, especially on oak where any stain will highlight it 10X. Much prefer the rift!
Not sure of the wood in the reference photo, fine grain and obviously stained. Also did not like the exposed screw holes where I opted for hidden dowels.
LBD, yep! any form of CNC for those corbels would be great, especially sinceĀ even paired, using the router table to shape was not much fun.
Even though this is not for personal use, I do think about what someone else might want to do with it. Had the idea to make the lower section tall enough for LP albums (vinyl records, analog, for you under 50 crowd!)
