Bookcase To Match Room Bookcase To Match Room Bookcase To Match Room Click the pictures to enlarge them

Here is the bookcase that was in my very first blog entry. It was built for my son to replace his outgrown book storage (which we just moved into my 2 week old daughters room to put her books in (yes my wife is a book nut)). As the title says I made it to match the other furniture in his room, knotty pine (should be naughty pine as I will never again do a project this size with BORG deminsional lumber expecially when I need knotty pine and not #1 select). Took some time and finess but I got her done with my limited skills and tooling. Finish is a coat of BLO. Final Product installed
And just incase anyone was wondering it is screwed to the wall and floor. All 180 pounds of me climbed it just to make sure it wouldn’t tip over or anything.

Very nice bookcase. And with the screws to the wall, very secure sounding.

You made the naughty pine nice again!

Very nice pine cabinet. At first I thought it was maple. Very good finish job. Very nice, indeed.

Jimmy,

This is a nice bookcase. Pine can be a gorgeous wood and you did well here. I like the beadboard back. It adds visual interest to the piece.

Well done.

Nice job.

My first thought was “I sure hope that thing is screwed to the wall!”

“It’s a dog-eat-dog world, and I’m wearing milkbone underwear!” I love your quote and laugh every time I see it…thank you . Looks like the beadboard is Birch from here. The side view of the feet area is awesome and hopefully Jr. won’t lose any toys under there….great cabinet / bookcase : )

Dusty, you are right about the back panel being birch. That quote is a norm peterson from cheers quote. When I was in the Navy my friends called me Norm cause I always had a quote or fun fact for everyone.
