Jamie's Bookcase


Between February 12 and 24th, 2008 I built this bookcase for Jamie. She requested it for her baby's bedroom.

The bookcase is made from tulip poplar wood and a 1/4" plywood back. Joinery included dados for the center shelf, rabbets for the corner joints and pocket screws for the top and bottom support frames. The feet were hand-turned on my lathe.

The finish included bullseye primer and two coats of exterior latex paint. I put a coat of polyurethane over the top and lower shelves for a little extra protection against moisture.

It was a fun little project.
