Here is my new bookcase -walnut sides and maple shelves. It's about 48" high and 30" wide. The design was inspired by a bookcase plan I saw in fine woodworking. I'm not sure of the name of the joint for the shelves and sides -a housed lap joint? Sorry I forgot to snap a photo before I put it together.
The finish is garnet shellac on the walnut and blonde shellac on the maple followed by wipe-on poly for both. The final coat was wet sanded w/ 1000grit followed by steel wool and wax.
