Craftsman Style Bookcase
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Craftsman Style BookcaseI mostly followed a set of plans to build this bookcase which I don't normally do, but I wanted to be true to the style and the plans were so close to what I had in mind anyway. I altered a few details. For example, I did not use shelf pins to support the shelves. I figured out where I wanted them and built in supports permanently at that height. Adjustable shelves are for store bought bookcases.The wood is sapele which I haven't worked with before. I liked it, but it tears out when going through the planer, so a lot of sanding was involved. The piece is not stained, it just has polyurethane semi-gloss on it. The wood darkens considerably with just that clear coat.
