DIY Floating Shelves

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I made this set of floating live edge shelves for a client that loved my recent desk build from Sweet Gum. I made my way back to my local sawyer who had some of this beautiful black gum. I kept the live edges and also mimicked a live edge on the ends of the boards by cutting them irregularly and shaping them with a grinder. Check out my process here…https://youtu.be/rIv5v6NwpkU

LED Lamp

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


We used to submerge this LED remote controlled lamp into that square glass vessel.
;
It worked well until the condensation inside the LED shorted out the electronics & you don't need to guess what happened next. This was because the vessel is filled with water beads, the kind that swell up from a pin head size to a pea size when you add water.
The idea came to put the LED underneath to get the same effect.
The bottom & top pieces of wood are out of the same piece, I think it's maple.
The hole in the bottom piece is at the same depth as the thickness of the LED lamp & slots were machined to fit the top & bottom to hold the glass in place.

Finished with wipe on poly.
Thanks for looking.

Good old purple heart that blunts your chisels. I've been meaning to do more inlays and found some sodalite that I crushed and used for this. Particularly dark purple heart, this one.
