This is an arts and crafts bookcase that I built from a Woodcraft project plan. I used sapele and it turned out great. The top is book matched. The finish is 5 coats of shellac and a clear wood filler.
Wow, a real head turner…....pun intended since your pictures are sideways!!!!!!
From what I can see that finish is flawless.
Do you have the woodcraft project plan#........did it come in a magazine or from a plan purchased in the store?
I would like to get my hands on a copy.
