Today I went back to the 3D workshop to continue working on the blocks. The glue has set and I am able to test different stains on the backside of one of the blocks. After a few tries, I found that a mix between 2 different stains works the best.

I have drawn some curved shapes, inspired by the buildings of Zaha Hadid. I measured each page and cut it to the size of each block. I then simply followed the line of the curve with a bandsaw. I drew the shapes so I could use each side of the cut, doubling the amount of segments I then have to build the shelf.
