Closet shelves with just a little personality

Picking up my toolbelt once again to finish one more item on the list, I got to work on the storage shelves in the master bedroom. We originally designed the closet to include this slightly-hidden set of exterior shelves. 

With butcher block wood leftover from last year's stair build, it seemed the logical choice to continue the theme. I used L-shaped aluminim, cut to length and mounted on each side of the wall to use as brackets to hold the shelf blocks. When the wood banks are set in them, they all but disappear.  

Instead of cutting plain rectangular slabs for each shelf, I cut the leading edge at an angle so that they are about 3 inches wider/deeper on the right side, matching the slight angle of the overal cabin exterior. The shelves are sealed with a clear, water-based sealer.
