Mission/Arts and Crafts Bookcase

BookCase Design

I have been wanting/needing a bookcase for a while. This simple one was designed in the Mission/Arts and Crafts style.

Two were made, each in white oak. The first is finished using the same finish used in my other white oak pieces. The second is in a Stickley type finish involving double staining or glazing.

The steps to make them are detailed in the video series.

  1. James,
    I am working on tooling for this project. But, i need to buy my rough cut lumber boards first. Can you tell me what board feet you started with?
    thanks

    1. I am slow to catch up on the website. I started with a massive pile that I got from a sawmill in West Virginia, so I never really looked at BF.

    1. Sadly I can’t give you an estimate of the board feet as I bought about 400bf of white oak from a farm and stored it in my shop for a few years, doing lots of projects with it. Personally, I would just calculate it as if the sides were solid, give yourself 20% margin and have a go at it.
