This is one of my favourites so far. Salvaged white pine , all solid with only hinges and knobs as metal parts. Full floating back, glass doors. My own design, too. We made this in December 2004.
The colours imparted to the wood from 100 years of immersion in the bay are patterned within the grain lines spanning between and sometimes past heartwood and sapwood. The variations are endless and intricate. The colours are unpredictable and almost prismatic.

Very nice. This is a truly beautiful piece to look at. I’m sure pictures do not do it justice. Thanks for showing it to us.

This is a nice bookcase. It has some interesting color and grain patterns although I agree with ratchet’s comment. Pictures usually do not convey a lot of the finer details and true appearances of the projects.
Thanks for the post.

Nice!! looks like really nice design, and a warm color. reclaimed pine is one my favorite woods, I love the hardwoods, but somehow I end up building more pine pieces for my own home than I do walnut or cherry.

That’s a beauty. I love that old wood that they are claiming from the water. We have a lot of sunken cypress in this area – but it’s not priced for the average man to take advantage of.
