Woodworking
Arts and crafts bookcase
THIS BOOKCASE is made of walnut, with a Danish Oil and wax finish. The
top and bottom shelves are fixed with tenons; the other shelves are adjustable,
held by pins. It is 50 inches high by 33 inches wide.
I was not entirely happy with the way this
turned out. To make the panels for the sides, I joined the boards by hand,
and I had never joined boards quite that long before. Anything longer
than three feet becomes difficult to square up evenly with a hand plane.
This was also the first time I had made open tenons like these, and I
didn't get them quite right.
It's still a good, solid, attractive piece
of furniture, though, and making it was a useful learning experience.
