Since I had little space in my floor I took to logs from the field.
I first polished them with sandpaper and steelwool. 1st time dry, 2nd time wet. After drying I paintetd one with white stain. The other one with nutchest stain and clear coat.
The white log was once more polished with steelwool after painting.
Therefore it has an used/bleached look.
I added warderobe hooks to each log and screwed them to the wall.
Price 30 €
About 10 € for 20 € for the hooks and screws.
Sorry, my english is not so good - I'm not a native speaker.

I love the finish!
I like how your bookcase is wider but more narrow. Did you see these plans? http://ana-white.com/2013/08/plans/rustic-x-tall-bookshelf

Awesome modification!
What dimensions did you end up using?- the proportions look great! Even the shorter legs look great! And did you just use 2x6's for your trip on the top? We would love to follow your design to a t!

Modification
We were thinking of increasing the overall height to 84" and the width to 48" (keeping the depth) but weren't sure if that would mess up the ratio.

Finally, a Rustic X Bookshelf that looks complete!
I think your looks much nicer than the original due to the finished top. It looks complete with the way you've made the overhang. How much of a overhang is it?
I love the rustic x console and coffee table but hated the bookshelf due to the odd looking top, thank you for your inspiration!
