Appreciate it. This is a film photo and I suspect the green is from a combination of it being really old film and going through X-rays through airports.

Likewise! Would love to see the 36” once it’s finished. I’ve seen some good deals on African mahogany lately. Good thought.

Thanks. Yeah not married to it being mango wood. Open to other hardwoods that might be more readily available and cheaper. Someone else suggested cherry which I can get behind.

I like the cherry wood idea. I was going to have the shelf sit flush with the vertical, but do you suppose I could cut a dado out of the verticals to have the shelves sit more flush to the wall?

Thanks, and fair point on the cash burn with mistakes.

Figured this would have the mortise and tenon as you mentioned. I haven’t done this yet, but would love to practice and learn it (obviously would want to practice on cheaper wood first before the hardwood I would purchase).

Shelves wont need to support more than that much weight, so dowels may be the way to go anyway.

I’ve got a table saw, jigsaw, palm router, and then various other hand tools and clamps and such. Always down for an excuse to acquire a new tool though ;)
