For the last visible shelf, you’re going to use the 14″ guides again. I wanted the top shelf of my DIY arched bookshelves to be tall enough to place large decorative pieces on. Once again, attach this shelf as you have all of the other shelves… So when all is said and done, you should have two guides at 4″; two guides at 14″ and two guides at 12 1/2″.
