I finally finished my Thomas and John Seymore inspired bookshelf. Had I known what I was tackling, I probably would not have started. It took so long I transitioned from power tools and vacuum press to hand toos and hammer veneering for trim and doors. I think I started it six years ago. Its been so long, I can't really rememer. It seemed at every step something went wrong. I learned how to fix a lot of problems. I learned mahogany does not steam bend. I learned that muntins and mullions are fragile and break easy even if you have spend days cutting the bridal joints. I could go on. The carcass is ribbon mahogany. The yellow trim is satinwood. I used sapele on the inside of the doors.
