The Mission style bookcase is made from Cherry. I’ve have about 150 hours working time in the project, which is a gift for my daughter. The finish is one coat of Boiled Linseed Oil, wiped off after 15 minutes. I waited 4 days and applied one coat of Shellac, followed by two coats of Satin Poluurethane. The doors were the most difficult part but they make the piece.
My interest is mostly Arts and Crafts. Other projects I’ve made are a Bow Arm, Morris chair made from salvaged Cypress from Caddo Lake and a Green & Green, 3 drawer chest of drawers.

Very nice! I would love to build something like that, but we don’t have the room. Please post some other projects so I can make you an Arts & Crafts buddy.

Very, very nice indeed. Looks very solid. An attractive and I would imagine, useful, piece of furniture.
