This bookcase was my first. It is about 4 ft tall made of mahogany with shellac finish. The top is frame & panel.
My wife then wanted 2 bookcase, white, each 3 ft tall. The prototype turned out to be too short for her needs. Poplar with brush painted Behr interior acrylic.
She liked the 'open' look and wanted 2 at 6 ft. Also polar but spray painted with Sherwin-Williams pigmented lacquer to match the window cornices. To enhance the 'open' look, I painted the back the same color as the walls. The mouldings are store-bought and the reeding with a hand-held router.
FOR ALL FOUR: I used the SS table saw, jointer, planer and drill press not only for the cases, but also for the several jigs that I made to ease machining.

Open Sided Bookcases
Forrest from Huntington Beach, CA sent in pictures of these great bookshelves he built for his wife. Great job, Forrest! My wife recently asked me for something similar so I might steal some of your design.

This great little rocking chair was built by Bob S. in St. Louis Missouri for his granddaughter.
This Teddy Bear chair for my GrandDaughter was built with my ShopSmith. Using the table saw, jointer, bandsaw, router function disk, belt & drum sanders.
