This is an oak bookcase I built for a lovely lady in the countryside of England. I lived in her guest house as I made it and worked out of her garage in a make-shift workshop. She wanted something to match the pattern in her wall paper which is how I came up with the idea for the side panels.

Amazing! stupendous! Extreme! Love the detail on the side panels and top. I don’t know if I could do that in a deticated shop.

Rohy – you are a great addition to LumberJocks – your craftsmanship is superb. This is an amazing piece. I’m sure that we all would love more details on who you accomplished the lace-work on the sides and around the top.
