Baluster Leg

Build tiered shelves on turned legs and a rod

A turned baluster leg for building your own tiered shelf. Five stacked rings of different diameters give the lathe-turned profile, an M6 threaded rod runs through the centre holes and the boards, and the cap recess hides the nut; four make a riser, eight a two-tier stand.
