Ballerina Shelf Posted by Garry Smith

The Shelf can be hung on a wall


The top shelf is made from curly maple

The shelf can also be free standing
The legs are made with cherry

And you guys thought there wasn't any turning involved didn't you?
I turned the post for the top support to mimic the legs so it would not be too noticable behind the legs from the front.
The post is also curly maple

The idea for the shelf came from a visit with our twin grandaughters after Christmas.
They take dance lessons

  1. Very well done Gary. I think I like the wall option the best. It gives the sense of being mid priorate.

  3. Garry, This is an elegant carving/turning, certainly unique and will done. Hope you can bring it to the April meeting. See you then, Jim R.
