Hardwood Bookcase and small Box
Hi everyone,
Have been reading this forum for a while now, A great source of inspiration and ideas. Thought I'd share a bookcase and a small box I recently finished.
The bookcase is made of an unknown island hardwood. I bought a huge pack of it off an online auction here in NZ for a very good price. Finished with wipe on poly. Never thought of thinning it down by 25% and rubbing it on. Learnt that from the finishing threads. The 2 adjustable shelves havent been inserted yet when I took the photos cos I ran out of shelf studs.
The small box is made from unknown timbers and is my first attempt since reading the box making section and acquiring a medium sized packet of mixed timbers. Alot of it is thin packing type timbers that were only really suited for box making but there is some prime chunky hardwoods/softwoods.

Nice Work
You have done an excellent job with a very good eye to detail
Like the design of the book case. Did one similar recently. Atleast the adjustable shelves won't fall/get pulled out with the way you have done it.
Look forward to seeing more of your work in the future!

Welcome to the forum. The book case looks great - well done. Shame we don't know what the timber is that the box is made from. Also nice work.

Thanks for your comments, you will surely be seeing more pieces in the future.
Making a 5 drawer tallboy at the moment on the cheap out of pine for a customer. May post that if it turns out alright.
