Finally finished the bookshelf. I made mine out of cherry with danish oil finish. Still need to hit it with some wax and steel wool but here it is:

27 July 2014 at 8:17 pm #59797great job Brian did you come across any problems worth sharing so we can avoid them when we come to build ours
27 July 2014 at 8:42 pm #59800Wow,Brian, your bookshelf looks fantastic! Congratulations on its completion. You’ve created something that will last for generations to come.
27 July 2014 at 10:18 pm #59817Wow! Looks very good and beautiful.
Congrats, well done, I liked it a lot.28 July 2014 at 2:20 am #59830Gorgeous! An heirloom-to-be for sure. Boy, do I love cherry. Can’t tell you how lucky I feel to live somewhere that it is readily available for a reasonable price.
28 July 2014 at 4:28 pm #59837Thanks for the kind words everyone! It was a really fun build. There were not really any problems to watch out for other than it is big and can be difficult to move around, clamp, bang into stuff, etc. I did use liquid hide glue for the back. I was real worried about getting all those T&G panels in there before the glue would set up so I used liquid hide glue to give a longer open time and if I messed up I could reverse it. I practiced a couple times and it went smoothly though.

George.
28 July 2014 at 7:49 pm #59839Great looking book case Brian, the Cherry with the Danish Oil finish looks perfect, also enjoyed looking at all the other photos of the other projects you have made. That looks like a very impressive workshop.
Thanks for posting18 August 2014 at 4:33 am #61389Cut it myself. I used the LV small plow plane with T&G attachment. I enjoyed it. When I finished I was ankle deep in long curly cherry wood shavings, hahahaaha….
18 August 2014 at 4:04 pm #61410Here are a couple progress pics of the back panels that may be helpful. I wish I took more…
Here is a pic showing some of the shavings from the plow plane (probably not even half way through!):

I did re-saw the cherry boards to get them down to 3/8″ you see a stack of panels ready for T&G on one side and a stack of re-saw waste on the other (right side). I used a BS for re-sawing.

and once T&G were cut, lining them up to make sure it looks nice (get grain and color to match) and will fit in the frame (had to trim down some panels).
