This cookbook shelf was just finished right here in my wood shop.  The photos show best as to how your books will sit (and look) within this shelf.  This shelf could be used for a number of book applications, music books, school books, antique book collections, etc., etc.   The books displayed in the photographs are not included in this sale.    ... I have to say that.  Otherwise someone would think all of the books were included.  They are not.

WOOD TYPES USED: This shelf was made of very complimentary woods: A rich grained walnut, red oak, and a dark cherry wood.  The corners are made of hand cut dovetails. 

The shelf gives you about 12 inches of book space. The width of the shelf is about 7 inches, and the rise of the tall support is 9 1/2 inches. It's a very very sturdy and well made book shelf. It's made very very well.  Please look at the wood joinery. 

I just finished this shelf in my shop a couple of days ago.  I can build these shelves in any size or from nearly any type of wood.  The one you see here is completely made and ready to ship today. You can see a number of my woodworking products posted on Ebay. Chessboards, lathe turnings, and kitchen pantries to name just a few.  In addition, upon occasion have musical instruments that I build. 

I will package this shelf with great care for shipping.  Shipping to the lower 48 states.    Shipping: USPS., or FedEx.
