Charles,

This is a gorgeous bookcase. I really like your design as well. Building this as three separate units was a good idea.

Thanks for the post.

Beautiful detail. The finish looks perfect.

NICE!

It was fun revisiting this project. I am contemplating building something similar for our basement. If you don’t mind, I may borrow some of your ideas.

Trifern,

Thanks for the nice comments.

You may use anything I have shown in it’s entirety. There are no secrets here, just logical design (hopefully) and assembly.

The oak bookcase was built in four sections, the left and right sections, the center section and a top cap with the crown molding and ect. to hold the tops together.

The only way to see that it is in sections is a seam is showing at two places. The vertical seams are covered with pilasters and such to hide the seperation. I don’t know if I would go to that much trouble if I were doing it again. Like the English cabinet makers used to say, “Plain and Neat”. I think that is the real secret.

It looks to me like you are quite an accomplished turner. Those are really beautiful pieces of wood and real good turning. You have a talent.

If you decide to build a bookcase please show it to us. I’m sure it will be excellent.

Well, anyway thanks again and good luck.

-- God makes the wood beautiful--I simply rearrange it to make it more useful, hopefully.

Very Nice…. I too need to do some case work. Just need to make time for it….
