Bookcase (cont.)

I hinted that I would be starting an interesting bookcase to join the dresser in our friends' toddler room.  Work on that is well under way.  This is a straight-forward project that only entails cutting plywood to size, running some dadoes through it and some well-placed rabbets in the back.  Much like the dresser, I put about an inch of birch on the show edges of the plywood.

Final glue-up, and back added

In the next post I will highlight some of the details as well as the making of the doors.  The interesting part is all the outside compartments will be enclosed but the middle will remain open.
