This  book case I started a while back.  It was for the lovely missus.  I finished  ( almost)   on the  day of the Mass of Christ.  She was happy.

I have to make up some more  moulding to run around the base of the upper half.  But that's just a router job.

The wood is  from a norway maple I took down in the yard.

Maple  seasons up nicely. 

The base is rather deep  the upper  can hols a 12"  deep book but I stepped the shelves at  just under 10"  I  can move them up or down.  the top half is 4' wide  the lower  is more.  

There is a toe kick heater in the base that makes all the difference in the world for that room.  The walls are filled with rubble and mortar  it's not really insulation

That stain on the floor is original to  the floor. Some workman went home for the night and left the rag.

Nice job!!! Did you think of cutting out the baseboard and making it a built in?

I remember when you started this. It certainly came out nice. 

Beautiful work!!

Really beautiful craftsmanship Cliff. 

 Looks great Cliff fits right in.

That's a beautiful piece of furniture right there Cliff.  Nice back story with the lumber selection also.
