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.

This was a dresser I made for my brother-in-law about 11 years ago. I made this using common #2 pine with a Polycrylic semi-gloss finish. it's about 6' tall and 22" deep.

Welcome all! This blog was set up to talk shop. I have wanted a place to show the woodworking projects I enjoy building. I will try to post past and present projects to inspire you. This will also be good place for me to keep track of the details of all my projects.
