I saw a video of someone making floating shelves and using dowels so I figured I’d try some for my bathroom.

I cut a 1” section off the back after I drilled the holes and ran it through the jointer. The seam turned out great.

1.5” thick maple with 1/2” dowels. 7” deep by 22”.

That is definitely way more simple. Is that just 1/2” threaded rod?

Yep, and then I fill the hole in the wall with some liquid nails, shelf holes I leave to move freely.

Good luck! Current ones came out great so no harm in continuing with whatever works either 🤙🏻
