Any woodworking gurus available for some quick pointers?

7 years ago

Hello lovely Houzzers :) After the three big room projects last year, I am giving it a break in January but have a little project idea I would appreciate advice on.


I have a beautiful piece of mounted teak drift wood that stands about 6ft tall. It's on a solid teak base and I want to make it a cat tree. Problem is I have no idea how to fix shelves to it. I wand the shelves to be raw edge wood sections about an inch deep and about 1 by 2 Ft surface area.


Any recommendations on fixings, brackets etc? They need to not have sharp edges of course and look nice.


Any thoughts or suggestions very much appreciated.:)

    Can you post pics? I was wondering if you might be able to set the shelves in to the Driftwood, thus having no brackets or fixings, but would need to see it in order to see how it could be done.

    It would be good to see a pic but I think if you were able to slide a shelf over the top and down the length of the 6ft part then I would put some threaded bar stud fixings into the driftwood and groove out the shelves to sit on top so as they are out of sight when the shelf sits on them. Hope that makes sense.
