Shaker Style Bookcase for Mom

Charles, this is a nice bookcase. I like the straight-forward lines of shaker furniture. You did a good job on the construction and your mother added a nice paint job.

I am sure it did not take her long to fill it up. I posted a couple of bookcases a little while ago and 20 minutes after I had them installed my wife had filled them. From the look of your bookcase your mother probably would not have any trouble filling up another one. :)

Nice post.

Looks good Charles! I’ve never really worked with Basswood. You don’t see much of it in Pennsylvania. So, tell us what your next project will be.
