Master woodworker David Marks builds a contemporary shelf stand with an Asian flair. This multi-tiered shelf is built from mahogany and supported on bent-laminate legs. The sweeping legs are made by cutting mahogany into thin strips and shaping the pieces in a bending form. The shelves are stair-stepped, gradually increasing in length, and rest in dados that are cut in the legs. This open, contemporary design gives a 360-degree view of cherished keepsakes displayed on the shelves.
