So I got inspired by my recent "you can build a plane too" workshop at Zenith Aircraft. The workshop is held in the factory, amidst the entire 601/650/701/750/801 parts inventory. So I picked up some wing ribs with a plan of making some furniture.

Behold, my first efforts. Bookshelf/nightstand made of wing ribs and vintage/salvage beadboard. Fun project!

Those ribs are from what model of Zenith? From their depth I'm going to guess an 801.

Way cool Charles! I was actually looking for something similar for my aviation-themed office but couldn't find anything reasonably priced, so I'll just order one from you!

Please post price and lead time.

:D

It looks awesome to me! However, on a more sober note, I must observe that your wife has not given it a place of prominence inside the house... :duck: :doh:
