Sam's bookcase
This bookcase was a gift. It took about 16 hours to build.
Wood: red cedar
Finish: Tung oil/varnish mix.
The entire piece was handplaned, instead of sanded, prepping for finish (this is what makes it difficult). The interior back has a scrub-planed surface for interest. The top was glued up for width and shelves/case dados were reinforced with square pegs.
"Rockler is my only source for fine tools and woodworking supplies. Every item I have purchased from them has been better than I anyone would expect from other suppliers. Thanks to them I have begun the wonderful and rewarding journey into turning, from my lathe to all my turning tools and gadgets, I am a fan. Rockler has enhanced my knowledge and expanded my enthusiasm. They are customer oriented. " -
