One of the reasons I've been otherwise occupied not making pens is the push to complete this 7-shelf CD rack. When finished, it will hold roughly 460 CDs.
Overall dimensions are approx. 45" X 30" X 6-1/4".
The rack is my design -- no plans.
The shelves fit in stopped dados angled back at 5 degrees.
The back of each shelf is matched to the shelf, mitered to 5 degrees to be parallel to the back of the rack and joined with stub mortise and tenons.
This is the dry-fit. One more thing to tweak, then I start final scraping and sanding. Should be done in a week or two.
Solid figured, lightly spalted Black cherry will get a natural finish of Shellac, BLO, and most likely rubbed out with Original Waterlox gloss:

One CD jewel case in situ:
The overall look of the CD Rack:
All comments and criticisms welcome. Thanks for looking.
