Two-Shelf Oak Bookcase
Here's a woodworker's bookcase. Not because it holds books about woodworking, but because it gives you the opportunity to use several different kinds of joinery in one project.
For example, the sides and back are frames and panels assembled with stub tenon and groove joinery. The three frames are joined with rabbets and grooves. Stopped sliding dovetails hold the apron that spans the side frames. The base pieces are connected with splined miters. There's more, but you get the idea. If you love woodworking, this is a project for you!
We made our Oak Bookcase out of solid red oak and oak plywood.
Overall dimensions: 29" high x 38" wide x 12" deep
