I plan to build a run of five etageres (open-shelf units atop a small case) and the source of good cherry is causing a design burp.
Really wanting the heights of these at about 6'4 and not 6'1 (height matters, inches matter) I think I may dowel feet onto the bottoms of the columns, and not really using dowels, but 10mm x 50mm dominos.
See the pics, attached. The units will be all cherry, but while I could do the feet in same, I was thinking of doing the feet in something else, maybe claro walnut. Or wenge. Or whatever.
Other than what can happen during moving and storage, there is little stress on these legs.
