Bookcase, Basic
So I’m of the firm opinion that a person can never have enough bookshelf space. No matter how big my living space may be, I constantly feel like I’m running out of room to stash that beloved book collection, which, between my grad student boyfriend and my bookworm self, seems to expand at an exponential rate.

Bookcase, Boat Nautical
This fun and relatively easy project fits almost anywhere. Its a great shelf for collectibles and books, and a conversation piece on its own. Inspired by the photograph of the old canoe bookcase below, we built our boat out of maple stock, but you may wish to embark on your project using pine, birch or oak. We wanted a traditional look that would also show off the beautiful wood grain, and chose Minwax conditioner, water-based wood stain and sealer for a finish rich in colour and quality.

Bookcase, Open Ended (PDF)

Bookcase, Sliding Dovetails
Rather than to just cut dados for each of the shelves, I have decided to raise the bar and cut sliding dovetails. There are two reasons for my thinking. First, done correctly, they will add some strength to the case construction and second, I have recently received a new sliding dovetail jig.

Bookcase, Jatoba
This traditionally styled five-shelf bookcase is built from solid jatoba with a mahogany plywood back panel. For the sides of the case, boards are cut at the band saw and shaped using a router template. The base is solid-wood molding that is shaped on the router table. The molding is miter-cut and attached to the case with fasteners that permit wood movement. The top is cut so that it hangs over the sides of the case, and the leading edge of each shelf is hand-shaped to add a craftsman touch. Mortise and loose tenons are used throughout to join all the parts, while the back panel is glued into a rabbet cut along the back edge of the case.

Once completed you just bolt them together. Bookcase plan features adjustable shelves and two options for the top—a decorative gable (shown in photo) or a traditional flat-style top. We used a tight-grained cherry and cherry plywood for its subtle grain pattern. For the back we used 1/4” cherry plywood. When it came time to apply a finish, we decided to use a cherry stain. I wanted the rich reddish-brown color without waiting for the aging process. And using stain would even out the color differences between the lighter sapwood and darker hardwood. Overall dimensions are 91” high x 43” wide x 14” deep. This project appeared in Woodsmith magazine No. 95.
