Project Information
I had the opportunity to to make this bookcase that was dimension specific (84"x30"x12") for a new client who in their search was unable to find said feature. Per my wife's FB wall, "................ wonders if anyone in Portland knows anyone who makes custom furniture for reasonable prices? the bookshelf we want apparently doesn't exist, for less than $1200. we want a LOW, but LONG shelf - about 3-4 feet tall and 6-7 feet long." she lead them to one of my photo links and I was contacted. When I met with them to go over options I learned that they also wanted something that was on the dark side to fit well with their home. I recommended going with Cherry and though I don't usually put color on Cherry I used Minwax Early American oil stain and topped it off with sprayed on simi-gloss Valspar precat Lacquer. I delivered it to them yesterday and they were really very pleased with the final product, "It's Perfect!"... and that it came to them in under 2 weeks…I love it when the customer is pleased like that. Oh, they were also happy with the price, I did save them some money…
