Gorgeous bookcase, the glass front always makes these things in my opinion.

-- Every neighborhood has an eccentric neighbor. I wondered for years "who was ours?" Then I realized it was me.

I really like your work. This bookcase is great. I am also interested in your finish. How did you do it?

Wow! Beautiful. I’ve always wanted to build one just like this. How hard was it?

You do some very nice work. Good quality pieces. Thanks for posting.

God Bless

I coloured it with a custom stain I get from Cloverdale and I finished it with shellac. I love shellac, but it was so labour intensive and time consuming I’m going to try some other finishes on my next few pieces. Over all it wasn’t that hard, but the size of the pieces was a challenge. It was too big to glue up in my shop so I had to do the glue up and some of the finishing elsewhere.

Great looking piece, I think you will like having two doors.

We are kindred spirits, Jeremy. I too find the Stickley/Craftsman designs very pleasing to the eye, as well as enjoyable to build. Most—but not ALL—of my projects have been ammonia fumed and I really am pleased with the results. Whenever I try to get into stains and tints and gels, I have more trouble.
I’ll try to post pictures of a bookcase I built a few years ago that’s very similar to yours.
Keep up the good work.
