I had some left over spalted maple from this job, and the client asked me to create some floating shelves for her living room. After cutting them to rough sizes, the next step was to fill all the small wormholes with epoxy before sanding them down and coating the shelves with a wiping varnish.

I removed some small sections of the existing walls so I could slip in some framing pieces to help strengthen the shelf brackets.

The shelves installed in their final home. They are evenly spaced on either side of the tv, but the lower shelves run long to allow for placement of taller items.
