Continuing work on the circle library. The wood veneer buckled on the outer surfaces of the circle supports. I didn’t have enough to redo both circles, so I redid only the smaller one. I hope once the books are in place it won’t show. I also will have straight shelves abutting the large circle, so that might help, too.
The original inspiration had 18 dividers, but my version has only eight for balance and fit. I used scrap wood to try out the look first.
I made angled dividers to match the original. I covered the sides of the angled inserts with peel and stick wood that I had left over from the Model T Van build. I used additional adhesive just to make sure the bonds will hold over time. I again used the Elmer’s stainable wood glue. To finish the front edges, I cut shapes from 1/32″ basswood to match the laser cut circles.
I think this is a good approximation of the original. :]
Next up, the long straight shelves.
