shelves for music books

[mmwood_1]

I'll enter this for the picture of the month competition. This was for a family of five who all played music. They had stacks of music books laying on the floor and wanted a couple of shelves to put them on. I was also told to 'do something fun'. So I did.
The whole unit mimics the grand staff on sheet music. The shelves are slabs of local walnut; the stands are also local walnut; the clef notes are eastern cherry; the staff lines are curly maple. The stands are 4 pieces with the horizontal sections attached to the verticals with mortise & tenons, then pinned with cherry dowels. The maple staff lines were notched into the stands.

I'm low on the food chain, all I completed this month is a maple hammer.
Great work.
