About Our Bookcases

All of our bookcases are built from solid hardwoods using traditional, time-tested joinery. These pieces are built to last several lifetimes. All bookcases have the following construction features:

• Solid hardwood construction. Available in solid cherry, maple, oak, walnut and mahogany (see wood choices). Cherry means solid cherry not a "cherry finish" on a cheaper wood. Bookcase backs are either 1/2" thick matching hardwood veneer plywood or solid hardwood frame and panel construction.
• All lumber is carefully selected for the best possible grain and color match
• All bookcase are built to order so customizing dimensions and layout is easily done.
• Cases are constructed using dovetail and mortise & tenon joinery
• Only high quality hardware and shelf support pins are used.
