Thanks for the lead. I think there is one in Rochester.If you have abig lots check there. They have some in there garden section or at least ours does.I bought a couple small ones for my book ends.
Very nice. I just love seeing folks' bookshelves. Top notch job!
Don't you mean "Maximum Overdrive?". Sometimes, I crack myself up!Thanks for the warm fuzzies! I put a lot of work into it. That is my forth set of book shelves. The new one takes the stress off of the others. Now I can organize by subject matter. But there is room for growth now again. We'll have to push SK into overdrive.
VERY NICE! You do good work, sirMost of us are creative in some way. Some more or less than others. The whole reason I came to this site was in hopes of showing a photo to SK. But who more able to review my work than a bunch of SK fans. I just finished a double book shelf after working on and off for 6 months. Just in time for Halloween! The book shelves were primarily for my SK novels and I had no idea in the beginning how they would turn out. After all how do you make book shelves scary? I enjoy making what I hope is art out of wood. Hopefully it's Heirloom quality. How do you like to let your creativity show?
Dennis Wheatly ROCKS! I especially like THE HAUNTING OF TOBY JUGG--what a story!Yes, most of them are. I have Dracula in there too. I intend on getting more classics to fill it out some. The red set you see there on the right is something I picked up while stationed in Holy Loch Scotland while in the Navy. Dennis Wheatly is a british horror fiction writer.
I haven't read any of them for over 30 years. I'll read that one next.Dennis Wheatly ROCKS! I especially like THE HAUNTING OF TOBY JUGG--what a story!

Thanks! Some of the shelves are deep enough for double stacking. Hopefully, I won't get to that stage too soon.you should fill it all by the end of 2014, how about that? Mine are falling off the shelves LOL
Thanks, and welcome to you too. I've only been here a week, maybe two. I got interested in Dennis Wheatly while in Scotland in the late 70's. I was based in Holy Loch Scotland while in the Navy. That didn't give me a lot of time to read but I bought the books for later reading anyway. Now it's been nearly 40 years gone by. Damn!I just love the bookshelf Dan, you obviously spent a lot of time and had great patience building it, well done it looks great! I've read that some SK members have, like me, read The Haunting Of Toby Jugg which was lent to me by my boyfriend back in the sixties and scared me half out of my wits!!
And from one newbie to another................
Never can get enough of kings works,no matter how fancy of shelf. Or how many shelves you get.Really nice work Dan. I like all the detailed curves and points running down the sides and middle. I was just looking at my bland white Ikea bookshelves the other night and thinking they weren't quite appropriate for my SK collection. Someday I'll have to remedy that!
As King family fan says, "no matter how fancy of shelf". SK books stand on thier own. Mine have been kept in military bunk lockers, stored in crates, been presented on four sets of book shelves through the years as my collection grew. Pine, oak and now black walnut. Finally, I've been able to encase them in something more fitting. I wanted a book shelf that looked a bit scary, aggressive and a little intimidating. I wanted people to be aprehensive if they got close. Like maybe they would get spooked! And maybe they will if they open one of those books.Really nice work Dan.
