19 feet wide, 9 feet tall. Solid maple for facade, doors and the whole middle section with the arch (even the back panels) .The dark color was the client’s choice. I know…
All detachable (cornice and base also! no nails.) so the client can bring it when she moves.
Over 40 hours of SANDING alone for this project…2007

Yeah, the client had lots and lots of books, the room was filled with boxes. She’s an immigration officer and lawyer. I sold her this unit 14500$ plus taxes and still made very little profit considering the hours I put in…

This is a beautiful library unit. The finish is absolutely gorgeous.
How did you finish the piece?
I can well believe that it took you over 40 hours of sanding on this. This is a piece of furniture that would certainly be the focal point of any room.
Thank you for sharing this.

Very nice. Thanks for shareing the selling price too. I’m always curious as to what some of the high-end cabinetry can go for.
-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Wow this is fantastic, is that bead detail around the panels and drawers or is it molding, can’t tell from the photo. And ditto on the finish, I really like that color. What wood did you use?? Another great project.

Excellent. I like the idea of the removable cornice.
