I used European white oak which i quarter sawed myself,

the shelves sit 90 degrees to the face edge.
I made hold down blocks for the top, any screws used were solid brass SH and facing to heaven!

The bookcase is movable on castors.

Coated with sanding sealer and finished with about 8 – 10 coats of clear wax.

The clock is a moon phase movement.I used some plastic coat laquer to finish it.
I inserted the mirror into a rebate (i know i spell it different) In the back.

It would look nice above a fireplace i think.
