A landmark day, September 1, 2018.
Doco is delighted to have made his bookcase, and it's lovely. The design inspired by a Japanese cabinet in "Fine Woodworking" - note the birch legs. The top is beautiful old-grain cedar. It's the second product, after Colin's splendid outdoor-cooking table for the ranch house summer kitchen (see, hopefully, next blog post), of Doco's cleaned-up wood-working shop in the squirrel-barn.
Doco now says the bookshelf, designed to fit against the stair wall in the upstairs of the clay house, is not what he intended to make. It was planned to be a long-wall-length shelf for ancient family collections of Dickens, Scott, Stevenson, Kipling, Thackeray … This made bookshelf is much too useful for ancient books, and is now stocked with more current books from the ranch house on all sorts of topics for browsers of assorted ages. So, back to the shop … maybe even later this fall?
