This is a set of book cases that it built this spring to go into one of the houses we were building in Eden, Utah. I used the same pine from the floor for the backs and the face frames around the front.

For the shelving I used some dried 2x6 framing fir. I saw this type of shelf support in a piece a few years ago and tried my hand at it. It gives the pieces an antique look. The finish I used was a tinted lacquer. I prefer the lacquer now because of the quick dry time. It was rather hard to work with because i'm use to touching up spots that didn't spray out heavy enough. with the tinted finish every time I went back over it it got darker. So i had to be careful to get the same amount of coverage evenly over the pieces.
