The floating bracket system I bought

An 8' live edge pecan slab from Berdoll sawmill

Bottom, ready to deliver and install

Rough cut - still too thick, lots of sanding and shaping and glass edge polishing to do.

This view intended to match the view of the next pic from the Herman Miller site.

Final product. I am very proud of this piece.

In the place it will end up, with some tiny chairs.

So lovely.

While Julie and were living in Arlington, VA, I started building furniture at the local community wood shop. This shows the handles I made on my china cabinet.

Detail on the side of my china cabinet. The case itself and the shelves were made of red oak veneer plywood, with solid oak edging. The base and top molding were solid red oak. Accents made from mahogany.
