So, I just finished up this bookcase after the oak one. I have about 16 hours in this and probably did not take the time getting a flawless finish. But it is a distressed country feel bookcase. Its was made using oak ply, poplar, ash, and cypress. I made the top from 1 inch thick poplar. The back is cypress made from three 2x4's I had in the garage. I just milled them down to 1/2 inch boards using table saw. I decided to leave the boards unpainted. The rest of the case was painted with three coats milk paint and then four coats poly. I bought the feet instead if making them to save time. I made this one for the oldest girl's bedroom and its painted white to compliment the bed frame.
