Cantilever Shelves

A set of shelves that balances supported on one upright and a sturdy base. — Cantilevered shelves, simple joinery, balance

Shelves inspired by sawmilling. Like most of my work I like to leave in traces of the entire process. Paint from the curing process, violent rough marks of the chainsaw, scribe marks from joinery layout…. all the way through to silky feel of polished natural finish.
Shelves can be taken apart and packed in minutes without tools.

patterned rough incisions, straight parallel lines trace the path taken by individual chainsaw teeth when the board was cut, they cast shadows showing their different depths and highlighling the violence of the saw — Traces of the sawmill, the curing process
