Cherrywood Mid Century Modern Bookcase

author-gravatar happyhalewoodco Jun 26, 2020

This is a mid sized mid century modern style bookcase.  First time every building with cherrywood as well as first time gluing up panels for the main construction of the box.  Decided to keep it raw wood colored, so I used a white Rubio Monocoat and it kept it almost perfectly the same as the sanded wood.  #cherrywood #midcenturymodernfurniture #rubiomonocoat

After setting the shelf pins in place I realized it would be much nicer if there were small grooves for the metal pins to sit down into so the shelf wouldn't move easily as well as hold the pins outward from falling into the bookcase.

Like I said this was my first time glueing up a panel to use as the main box, so its not perfect but I tried my best to make the panels look continuous.
