These display shelves were a custom project requested by a client. They were remodeling their living room and wanted shelving that would insert between the exposed studs. Conversations with them revealed they wanted wood that had a darker look to it and this walnut is perfect for that. They also wanted them to have a rough sawn texture. Due to the lack of available rough sawn walnut, I handled this part of their request by hand. To accomplish this I took walnut boards that were planed flat and ran them through a milling process by hand that made them appear to be rough sawn lumber.
