The wood is local sugar maple with some amazing spalting and figuring. I wanted to build a shelf that could be taken apart and moved around by one person. This mortise and tenon design is super strong but there are no metal fasteners at all. This could be made in any of the local wood species, and custom sized to your space.

The end of the tenon on the first shelf below the top has a hole through it from a sugar tap. Can you see it?
