Roycroft Little Journeys Bookshelf Reproduction

Beautiful oak book shelf table. Gorgeous specks of color in that oak. Great job.

That turned out very nice. I really like the finish. Those through keyed tenons are a lot of work but well worth it. It is beautiful.

Looks great – I’m jealous of all the beautiful hand work. Some day, I hope to do that nice kind of work.

That such a wonderful piece…love all the details which brings out all that Qsawn oak. thanks for posting Blkcherry

Very nice, John. It was a pleasure to follow the blog and I’m glad the fuming came out to your liking. (I like it too.) Those are some nice covers on the books. Nice addition to your wonderful home.

Sweet piece. Beautiful finish. The rays in that oak really pop out in the sun.

Giz,

I love this piece, it is just so classic. Your craftsmanship is just top-notch and exemplary for the style.

You got to try the fuming process on this one and that makes me a bit jealous. As does your collection of “Little Journeys” books.

I always enjoy following your posts and projects.

Thanks.

OK, I have to make you jealous; Rita and I visited the Roycroft Community in East Aurora, New York and stayed in the freshly restored Roycroft in. If you ever get a chance, I highly recommend visiting the historic community.

There is much Frank Lloyd Wright in the area as well.

This came out super! Just picked up a Roycroft book the other day…

Looking forward to what else you have going this summer!

Thanks for all of the comments.

Todd.- I am jealous. I want to take a trip out east-ish and see the Roycroft stuff, Stickey Museum, Nakashima, Williamsburg,the Smithsonian. . . and so on.

Dorje- Lots more projects to come. I have been in the shop all day in fact.

Hey John

I won a set of the books on ebay for 76 bucks. When I looked on yahoo looking to find how much they were really worth I typed in Roycraft Little Jouneys and your project came up as item number two.

Guess it is my turn to make book stand … maybe a book rack
