I convinced my wife that i could build a book case that would look ok, and she bought the idea. SO this is my first bookcase that is going to be inserted in to the wall. This was going to be for my office, but there’s a new baby in her belly. We decided (she) that the baby would have the office.
I made everything the crown moulding, and knobs with my table saw and router. This was also a first using biscuit joinery but with a t-slot router bit. Enjoy. Tell me what i should’ve down better so the next thing i make will allow me to fund more projects.

Looks really good. Can’t tell if you made the shelves adjustable or not. My first bookshelf had fixed shelves and I always wish I had made them movable.

-- Keith, Bolingbrook, Illinois. How did you do that? I just started with a bunch of wood and cut away anything that's not part of the finished piece...

i used early american mini wax with pre condition stain after assembly. I had never really stained something before and since i spent so much time on this piece i used the pre conditioner. you dont have to use the conditioner prior to staining right?

I don’t use a “conditioner” much, if at all… BUT, that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t…
Thank you.

Very nice looking book case. Take it easy on yourself. We tend to be our own worst critics. You only have to please the man in the mirror…. mike
