Thanks guys for all the advice and encouragement. Here is my first finished
product.
It was fun to learn and experiment, it was supposed to have bent
semicircular edge so it was
quite a project to change the design when it was half done but my oak would
not bend.

Now the only question is what to attempt next. life is good.

Wonderful idea for a jog in the wall. FWIW, when I see it, I think
curved, not segmented... thinner edges... no mid-shelf supports... and
contiguous curved base moulding.

Looks good. I'm in the middle of building tons and tons of shelving
units at the moment, the wife decided that she couldn't find anything
she really liked, or that fit the various books/CDs/DVDs she had, so
I'm building a good half-dozen fixed-shelf units for her, each
specifically sized for whatever she wants. I've got two done and one
out in the shop laid out, but not cut yet.
