Earlier this week I finally installed the long walnut shelves I've been building. The design was straightforward, based upon a unit the client had at another place of residence.
The challenge was working with boards of that length, as the shelves were spec-ed at 100" and 126"
I used dominoes for all the joinery, and added a channel in the front and side boards for the top to fit into:
Assembly had to be done in three stages. First the top, back, and bottom, with a 3/4" recess in the back to fit the cleat by which it would hang. Then the front. And then finally added the sides, which were fit together using a mitre joint. Finished it off with two coats of Osmo.
