Hidden steel-rod brackets, no visible hardware. Looks like the shelf grew out of the wall.
| Part | Qty | T × W × L | Material | ✓ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shelf blanks 2" thick reads as substantial. Thinner than 1.5" and the rod holes get uncomfortably close to the faces. | 2 | 1 3/4" × 8" × 36" | Black Walnut | ☐ |
| Item | Qty | ✓ |
|---|---|---|
| Walnut, 8/4, surfaced (Black Walnut) ~$18/bd ft. The cost of the project is right here. | 6 board feet | ☐ |
| Steel rod, 1/2" diameter, threaded one end 3 rods per shelf. Lag-threaded end goes into the stud, smooth end into the shelf. | 6 each | ☐ |
| Epoxy (2-part, slow set) Locks the rods into the shelf. Slow-set gives you time to seat the shelf square. | 4 oz | ☐ |
| Clear interior finish (hardwax oil or wipe-on poly) | 8 oz | ☐ |
| Sandpaper, assorted grits | 8 each | ☐ |
