LOML re-organized the house and I’m giving up a bookcase I’d built some time ago.
The replacement is a Black Cherry & Curly Maple 4’ wide 2-shelf unit.
I designed it with a finished look on the back.
The sides are frame & panel with a bookmatched cherry floating panel.
Not your typical bookmatch, the outside left of the case matches the outside right.
The back is frame & panel with a mid-stile; the rear panels are ship-lapped black cherry.
The frame & panels are full mortise & tenon construction.
The back panel has a 1/4” stub-tenon the full length of each stile fitting
into a 1/4” stopped dado on each side panel.
The bottom shelf is connected using a stub mortise & tenon.
The case top connects using a shallow dado which sits down on the back and sides.
The middle shelf sits on shelf pins.
The photos are terrible but they’ll give you some idea what I’ve done:

Thanks y’all. Lacking a decent camera and a tripod, it’s a bear to take good photos to show
how this really looks. These are better photos of the actual color and what the curly maple
looks like after getting the second coat of Waterlox on this morning.
