These are the bookcases I have been working on for the past couple of months. They are alder stained to match the 30 year old stained pine. The corner cab will have glass shelves and lighting, but we must wait for the electrician. While I know that technically makes this an unfinished product. My work on it is done. There were many challenges in this project, the main one was figuring out how to build big cabinets in a small shop.

My customer is thrilled, I am thrilled, and he is already talking about having other work done. Mission accomplished.

Thanks Borgmc1.

Yes Mark, I have done this a few times before. I ran a custom cabinet shop in Richmond VA for about 12 years. These are my first cabinets out of my own shop. It was a giant confidence builder for me. I knew I could build them but with my small shop and the tools I have? Now I know the answer to that one. Bring on the next job. LOL
