My first bookshelf is coming together. I'm wondering if the shelves in the first pic below need extra support such as dowels? There's a 5mm rabbit and the shelf is 19mm thick Vic Ash.
The other side of the shelf will be supported by a single bean perpendicular to the shelf (second photo). That side I'm not worried about as the fit is nice and tight and there is plenty of support available.
Secondly, there's a bit of a crack forming in the Oregon. Would epoxy be the right thing to use to fill it to keep it from continuing through?
Thanks,
Af.
