Bent wood and a sinking ship

Here's this past week's effort: a canoe bookshelf. Better versions are rounded—like real canoes—but this is my first, maybe I'll get there one day. Also my first time bending wood. Didn't steam it, just slowly torqued it over a few hours. And the first time using chalk paint, which was real easy to work with. Here it is mid-build and in place.
