bookcase, comprised Of Ash and Steel is a sight to behold. The curves of floating shelf to floating shelf with a steel spine down the middle make this a true work of art.

What a fun project. Rabbit joints. Screwed in. Then wood plugs. 15″×1/4″×80″ steel plate for the spine

I didn’t even see that in the pictures when I first looked. I thought it was part of the background. Very cool.

Thanks everyone for the great comments. This is what happens when I think way outside the box.
