At the end of the day there are always scraps. These shelf sets were scrap projects. I had a bunch of end cuts of 1x6" pine. What do you do with an 18" left over? Turn it into a shelf!
Aside from the two longer pieces on the sides, these two pieces were almost entirely made out of scraps. The orange piece (The Heliopolis Shelf) has no piece of trim on it over 6 inches. The ivory and Versailles Yellow piece has one longer piece of trim but even that was pretty much a scrap.
In my studio almost every piece of wood, no matter how small, gets used. These two shelves are a good example of that! Even the knob was a vintage 1910's era knob being recycled and reused.
