Leah’s Bookcase

Well, I guess I kind of put the Asian Inspired Greene and Greene Bookcase on the back burner for now. I actually started the project two different times and just didn’t like the way it looked when I made up the side panels. Soooo, Leah was really needing a bookcase for the house so for the short term I just decided to buckle down and knock out an Arts and Crafts bookcase for now and revisit the other later. The photos posted here are what I came up with. It turned out really nice and she likes it, but I still have the urge to go back to the drawing board and figure out what exactly it was that struck me wrong about the Asian Inspired G&G case. I really don’t know. I modeled it in Sketchup and it looked good, but after I made the legs, rails and stretchers, it just wasn’t what I was looking for. Maybe it’s the scale…Anyway, I’ll let you know when I figure it out and hopefully get moving along on it as soon as I finish the small kitchen cabinet job I have lined up at the moment. Until then….
