35 Inch Wall Shelf Made From Exotic Zebrawood And Tiger Maple
One Of A Kind Piece Ready To Ship! This beautiful Wall Shelf is made from 4/4 Exotic Zebrawood with 8/4 Tiger Maple supports. The combination of these two woods results in a very distinctive and eye catching piece. The shelf is approximately 35" Long x 7" Deep x 9" High. A plate rail has been added to the top of the shelf for those special pieces you may want to set up for display. The tiger maple supports are on 16" centers so the piece can be mounted to studs for those very heavy pieces you may want to display. The pieces have been compression glued and pocket screws added for strength and rigidity. The combination of the zebra stripes and tiger flames makes for a very distinct and unique piece. The shelf was designed to be hung either by hidden rods or metal hooks which are provided by the buyer. Brackets can be added if requested for an added cost depending upon the option selected. All of the surfaces of the piece are hand sanded and then lacquered with 7-8 coats of satin finish to bring out and maintain the natural beauty of the grain, structure and colorations in the woods as possible. The piece is bubble wrapped with multiple layers of cardboard protection and shipped in a carton. Shipping costs are shown in the Shipping and Polices tab. Zebrawood is imported from central Africa, (Gabon, Cameroon, and Congo). The heartwood is a pale golden yellow, distinct from the very pale color of the sapwood and features narrow streaks of dark brown to black. It is almost always quarter sawn to get the exciting alternating color pattern. It is a rare and exotic wood, used in a limited way for veneer, wall paneling, custom furniture, furniture trim, inlay bandings, parquetry, specialty items and turnery. It is also sometimes seen as stocks of handguns or in exotic guitars. In the past, it was used in Cadillac and Mercedes-Benz automobiles. Because of its hardness, it can also be used for skis and tool handles. Tiger maple also known as curly or flamed maple, ripple maple or fiddle back, is a feature of maple in which the growth of the wood fibers is distorted in an undulating chatoyant pattern, producing wavy lines known as "flames". mr² Woodworking also creates custom indoor and outdoor furniture, benches, cabinets and specialty wood items.

For Mr2 Custom Made Solid Cherry Mid Century Bookcase With Extra High Bottom Shelf5.0Rick was A+++ in his communication and customer service; a true professional. I had a custom job request and even after approval of his drawing, he re-worked one small item to add stability to the book shelf (of which I never would have noticed nor thought-of, plus I already signed off on it - how often does that happen in life?!). He clearly cares about his work and shows judgment of a true professional. He sent me 4 samples of the stains to ensure I liked the color of the piece; he sent pictures throughout the process, at each step and I know I will love the piece after I open it. I haven't had a chance to open/inspect the final product due to work on my house but I would definitely work with him again (and will update my review after my house isn't torn apart).

For Custom display holder for steel tip darts5.0Great experience! Mr. Ricks is an adept artisan with a passion for his craft. He kept me updated throughout and was patient and gracious in his handling of last minute design adjustments. While this project may not have been as challenging as other examples of his work that I have seen, it was executed to perfection. Invisible joins, matched grains, precision detailing, and a deep, rich, hand-rubbed finish all add up to a one-of-a-kind, highly practical, and very beautiful piece of art. I look forward eagerly to our next collaboration and am delighted to recommend Mr. Ricks without reservation.

For Custom Mr2 Solid Cherry Shadowbox Bookcase4.8My wife and I searched hard for a "Shadowbox Bookcase" for our living room. All we found were particle board monstrosities, or overpriced manufactured hollow versions. We wanted something in solid hardwood, preferably cherry. Rick provided this. His quote was reasonable, his design was exactly what we requested, and his communication was outstanding. He started and completed the project on schedule. Delivery was timely. There was a small glitch in the delivery, and Rick apologized profusely for this, but it was totally out of his control, and I believe him when he says that it had never happened before with this shipper. We managed to take delivery of the item, which was exceedingly well wrapped and protected. We are proud to have a custom piece of Rick Ricks craftsmanship in our living room.
