Here's a little weekend project. We have this mezzanine bed with windows and window shelves around it. I'd like to put books there but sometimes condensation pools so I need something to raise the books a little above the level of the shelf.

Playing around with different designs, I went for the middle ground of having some curves at the base but not the top. I wanted them to be catenary curves but couldn't figure out how to do that in fusion so went with arcs instead.
