Bookshelves

Ah, ok... yup was trying to work out how "nicer looking" comments counted as spam ;-)

Huh ? Are you saying I should have trimmed more? Shouldn't have mentioned a manufacturer's name? What spam??

Unchopped firewood has its uses. If you can use intermediate verticals to divide the shelf lengths up then it might be doable. A debarked front edge certainly adds character. But you'd need a big saw, which can of course do many other projects.

The traditional white glossed shelves with cupboards at the bottom either side of a fireplace have been popular for years, and I've never heard of books sticking to them. Agreed it can take a long time for the paint to harden though, especially if its put on thick. Is oil-based eggshell the same ? Simon.

The company wot now flogs Sp*r shelving has repeatedly spammed this group.

I should have put something like "And, unlike the Sp*r company which has a history of spamming here, they do not spam us."
