FLOATING SHELVES


The customer specified "floating shelves" but due to the design, required a hidden mounting system. I used mitered cleats along the back and on one side or both depending on the shelf length. I suggested adding puck lights to accentuate artwork and the like. The shelves were made of two 3/4 inch thick sheets of MDF, banded on the edges with fir. The 12 volt lights were wired using a routed groove made on one of the sheets of MDF prior to sandwiching them with glue and screws.
