Iron Pipe Shelves DIY

How to build a live edge office shelf using a live edge hardwood cherry slab and industrial black pipe mounting hardware.

This project started with a slab of cherry hardwood that I got flattened at my local hardwood dealer. I chose to have it flattened as it saved me a ton of time and I have already shown the process of flattening larger slabs with a router sled in past videos.

Once the slabs were flattened I had to add a strip to each shelf to make them the depth that the customer wanted. The live edge bark was removed with a hammer and sander as I did not want to do an epoxy finish which is the best way to keep bark on a live edge piece.

The shelves were finished with 3 coats of general finishes arm-r-seal, my go to finish for hardwoods.

The shelves are mounted using black plumbing pipe as the hardware. All the pipe is 1/2" black pipe cleaned using acetone and steel-wool. Once the pipe was cleaned I assembled and finished with past was to prevent any rusting.
