My first project at the new house once I got my garage set up. The old townhouse had a set of built in shelves which I lost and needed a way to get my boxes of books off the floor.
The sides and back are made with raised panels and all of the molding was cut on a router table. Tracks for the adjustable shelves are recessed into dados along the sides.
It’s built from oak for the frames and oak veneered plywood for the panels and shelves. I’ve filled entire shelves with textbooks and they hardly flex.

I like the raised side panels. I’ve been wanting to do that with a bookshelf or desk. Its a great way to make deep furniture if you have a narrow planer. Nice finish, looks glossy.

I used Minwax’s oil based Provincial stain. Nothing special, I think it was from HD, but it did a good job highlighting the grain.
