I had wanted to build a corner shelf for a little while and nothing that I had seen had been just quite right in my eyes. For me the design is all about balancing the dimensions of the timber to the height and depth of the shelves and the thickness of the steel.

I made some templates up out of plywood just to make sure that everything worked before cutting into my cedar. It was a good way to make sure that my corner cutouts were perfect.

A poor mans linishing sander for tidying up the shelves.

A few coats of danish oil applied with fine steel wool and a coat of mat black paint on the steel, and it came up really nicely.
