Project Information
I built this oak barrister bookcase many years ago in high school shop class for my sister. She recently gave it back to me and I then added the base section. The base is simple molding and a frame made from pallet wood, note all the nail holes. I also upgraded the glass windows to polycarbonate, which I highly recommend. It is pricier but much much safer. The photos were taken right after I finished the project, over the past couple years the polyurethane on the base has darkened with age and matches the original finish quite well.
