My mom made the shelves shown in this photo. She used bricks to support the boards.This project doesn't require a hammer or nails to create this easy rustic looking bookshelf.
Instructions:
1) Select the type of board you prefer for your shelves (pine, oak,..).
2) Cut to length.
3) Paint or stain the wood to your preference of color.
4) Allow the wood to dry.
5) Stack four to five bricks on opposite ends, estimating where the board will lay on the bricks. You can make adjustments as you go.
6) Repeat for the second tier.
