The top and sides of this case were made
from one wide and beautifully dark pieces of walnut.
The edge is molded with a double cove molding and the
detail is transferred to the base with a stopped chamfer
on the outside corners.

The top two shelves are adjustable using
brass pins. The shelves are notched to accept the
pins so that they can't slide forward. The back is
made from a collection of different walnut boards that
vary in color.

The case terminates to the floor with a
cove cut skirt molding. This detail is an exciting
one for me to make, cutting out this shape by running the
board sideways across the tablesaw.

The Ascutney Bookshelf is made of Black
Walnut. It is named after the mountain I see out of the
shop window. The client lives in that direction and
it was a nice reminder where the piece was going to live
as I worked on it. The bookshelf is finished with boiled
linseed oil, multiple coats of varnish and paste wax. |
