Some Pictures to Satisfy Those Who Wanted Them...

Rob,
A very good looking set of book shelves. After all the trouble you had they came out really nice.

I forgot to mention. The woman buying the house wants more shelves (and needs them). So, before too long I guess I will get an additional order for eight more shelves. That will be an easy little profit.

Red Ok right? You did a wonderful job on them. How did you do the peg holes? I am building a set in the near future any suggestions to have them turn out as nice as those?

Great shelves. and a commission to boot.

Yep, red oak with Minwax Golden Oak stain and a good coating of Olympic Satin polyurethane.

Sandhill, I will be glad to show you the system I use. How about I set it up as a demo and post it for everyone to see. Give me a couple of days. I will need to get out in the shop with the camera. It is a really simple system with a couple pains in the rear that I have not worked out. Maybe a few ideas can get bounced around here to help me figure it out.

I like how the cap on your crown helps hide the splice. Good work.

After all the angst I thought they might look nasty. These would make anyone quite proud to build or own. They came out really well, Rob.

Those came out great! I’ve done a couple of bookshelves and would be happy to never do another set. They always end up being trouble.
