Andy, those shelves look to be about a metre or possibly a tad longer? It's a good looking bookcase and shelf arrangement, but I don't think for moi personally I could live with shelves with even that small amount of sag...it would irritate me beyond belief; nearly as bad as having a shelf on a wall that's not dead horizontal :twisted:
I'm coming round to the idea of using solid pine shelves, say 23mm thick, lipped all round with oak and then veneered both sides with 2mm bandsawn veneer, so total thickness would be around 27mm. I'd need to buy the pine in good time to let it dry or I could use quarter sawn, stack laminated boards which would be more stable but a bit of a 'faff' to make - Rob
