Maple plywood and solid maple. The finish is latex paint.

Describe, in detail, the project/item’s construction.
Creating a floating shelf system on a wall that we could not open up and attach steel framing was our biggest issue on this project. We constructed the L shape shelving in our shop using a vacuum press with 1/2″ maple plywood panels. We then used a cantilevered system that supported the shelf that became the back of the shelves.

What is the most unusual aspect or outstanding characteristic of this entry?
9′ floating shelving
