This was the step in my home office furniture project (see the desk/hutch project) hence the poor picture quality (its about 5 years old so my digital camera at the time was suspect). Its solid cherry frame and shelves with solid maple panels and cherry ply back panels. I based it on a bookcase I saw in a FWW issue a few years ago.
Still one of my favorite projects.

Very nice Matt. I love the contrast between the cherry and maple.

I agree with Scott, great combination of wood. Looks rock solid too.

Looks really nice. I like the different angles on the top.

Great craftsmanship Matt!
I especially like the edge treatment on the top, & the nice contrast of wood.

That looks so good I would hate to put books on it and I love books. Another example of keeping it simple, yet very decorative at the same time. Wonder what it would look like in walnut and birdseye maple.
