SHAKER INSPIRED SHELVES AND DESK




This commission was intended as a matching pair - a desk wih drawer and hanging shelves above.  Both pieces were built from Walnut and designed specificially for my client's guest bed room.  The book shelf was a particularly exciting piece for me, as it was inspired directly from a set of Shaker hanging shelves, which were traditionally hung by a rope from pegs in the wall.  In my interpretation, I used a live-edge piece of Walnut sap-wood, mounted on to the wall, as the support for the shelves.  The desk below also relates with a sap-wood drawer front.
