Traditional Sawtooth Shelf System

This is an oversized item. An additional $20.00 per piece will be calculated in shipping charges at checkout.

Our Traditional Sawtooth Shelf System is the re-birth of a design that was used on many pieces of vintage furniture and cabinetry. These saw-tooth supports were the primary way to make an adjustable shelf before the introduction of the hole and pin standard. Each set includes four supports, two pieces of cleat material, illustrations and instructions. The cleat material included with each set is the same dimensions as the supports so can be used for the extensions.

The traditional style was the most commonly used by cabinetmakers and is often seen in antique furniture. This version is where the saw-tooth cut starts between 8 and 12 inches from the bottom and stops the same distance from the top. The length of the support will determine where the saw-tooth starts for example on a 36 inch support, there are 8 inches of plain; on a 48 inch support, there are 9 inches of plain; on a 60 inch support, there are 10 inches of plain, and so on.The traditional style will achieve a fine, old-world detail without the need for joints in the saw-tooth supports.
