The Dovetailed Wall Shelves

 I designed these shelves so that from the bottom shelf to the top, they move from heavy to slender. The sides are walnut, the fronts are mahogany. The sides are dovetailed to the front (all cut by hand) with a different layout for each shelf (widths of tails and number of joints.) To attach the bottom-most shelf to the wall required a false top (since only a mouse can get under the bottom shelf) which press fits neatly and does not reveal that it comes out with a light blow from below.
