Maple Bookcase with Arches
May 2026 - In progress
This is a bookcase fit for a story-book home. Made floor-to-ceiling for that classic, built-in look, this new fixture looks like it came with the house.
Maple ply construction with solid maple trim and molding. Finished in a dark walnut stain with a grain-popping seal coat, this bookcase will boast a durable satin polyurethane coat when complete.
This bookcase had a few custom touches that made it fit like a glove. It was built around a receptacle (which needs to remain accessible), it had arches added, and it was designed to be compatible with the new flooring that the client plans to install. Baseboards will be installed after new floors.
Almost Done
A rare sight of the unstained maple in its final form. This was the last time this wood remained its bare color.
That’s more like it!
This is the Bookcase with its stain and a coat of sealer. Final steps are: sand lightly, then 2 coats of satin polyurethane.
