What a beautiful bookcase. I’d say you made excellent use of that reclaimed oak! Great job!

The flutes on the stiles are a nice touch, Charlie. They provide an elegance to this project. Thanks for posting.

Very beautiful bookcase Charlie: Great job

Very, very nice. I bite the bullet at the big box stores every once in a while, too…........but just as you did (when you only need a little bit). that is a very nice looking bookcase Charlie!

Get to know the demo guy on that job … trust me there’s plenty more free wood out there. I havent paid for a piece of lumber in 3 years. Shoot for the on site foreman, buy him a case of beer or a couple cups of coffee and you will have a buddy who always looks out for ya.

Nice work with the reclaimed oak … a new life doing the same job in a much more stylish way!

Charlie,
This a beautiful piece, the reclaimed wood was the right choice ‘It Does Add Character’. The flutes on the styles add to the beauty. I really like this piece of furniture!!

Thanks for sharing!!

That’s really nice Charlie, It looks very “formal” to me and the grain gives it so much character.

Charlie, a beautiful bookcase. Nice job in the use of recycled materials.
