Absolutely beautiful work! I came to your video to see how a bookcase should be made to reflect true craftsmanship and artistry. While I may not be able to attain your level of workmanship for my first attempt at building a bookcase, you have given me a goal to aspire to. Thank you for a very well-explained video. Your solution is breathtaking.
Wow Wes! I see how truly challenging this one was, but your expertise brought it to perfect solution. Your expertise, your wisdom, and your teaching enrich us all. As you know , you have been a great inspiration to me since I started back into woodworking. Thank you sir… And have a great weekend.
Thank you Wes for this information. The simple step by step for putting together a really nicely finished shelf unit is just what I needed to start my own living room wall shelving project. Regards Tony
Thanks for taking the time to share your wisdom with us by making these videos! I love seeing a job done properly and these little detail pieces are so easily overlooked when designing. Do you have a website/page where you list the different tools that you use? Would love to know what the professionals are using!
Hi Wes... Thank you for your response! Obviously, the height of your book case is limited by your ceiling height... Based on your case height, how do you determine an aesthetically pleasing case width??? I've been told that proportions are everything in furniture building!
Can I ask, are you using Baltic Burch plywood for the body and Burch for the face frames. I really want to build something like this. Your work is beautiful.
I can't find a single video on TH-cam that shows the build and install for solid wood raised wall paneling. Any chance you've got a custom order ready to go!? 😂
The final profile of the side looks different than what was shown in the video. What did you do to give the 'stepped down' look as it transitions from the frame to the panel? Rout an ogee profile?
Shawn...yes there was a small ogee molding added to the inside of the frame against the panel. This was a customer requested add-on after our initial build. Thanks for visiting...hope this helps.
Thank you for your input. The bookcases are screwed together and screwed to the wall and would in most cases be just fine. After reviewing the client's storage desires the supports were added to satisfy his concerns and my liability.

Great looking book shelf 👍
Thank you...I appreciate you watching :))
That was great video. Great woodwork
Thank you very much...I appreciate you watching
Beautiful!! What putty/nail hole filler are you using here?
That little narrow section that looks like it's about 4" would have made a terrific secret compartment, if the homeowner had decided to do that.
Thats an interesting idea I didn't think of...I will keep it in mind for future reference. Thanks for watching and your comment.
Great job sir!!
Thank you very much for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video. Wes

Hi Wes... Loved this build! Do you have a set of plans?
No sorry we don't. Thanks for watching. Wes
Thank you I was wondering how you attached the shelves?
They were adjustable shelves with shelf pins. Thanks, Wes
Perfect Work
Thank you for your comment...I appreciate it very much !!
Did you mention the stain/dye you used? This is gorgeous.
It is Sherwin Williams Sherwood Stain with a custom color mix. Thanks for the compliment...glad you liked it, I do too :))
Can I ask, are you using Baltic Burch plywood for the body and Burch for the face frames. I really want to build something like this. Your work is beautiful.
Hi Chris...the veneer panels and solid wood faces are all cherry wood. Good luck with your project, it will be great. Thanks Wes
I love it. Why can’t I have someone like you as my neighbor instead of cranky old lady’s lol.
Haha...thank you for the compliment.
Very nice work, and great explanation. What were the materials used? Is that red oak?
Thank you very much...it is cherry with a stain and lacquer finish. I appreciate you visiting.
I can't find a single video on TH-cam that shows the build and install for solid wood raised wall paneling. Any chance you've got a custom order ready to go!? 😂
Hi Nick...solid wood raised wall paneling is not a request that I have had but I will keep my eyes open for opportunities in the future and tag you.

Did you scribe the filler strip to the wall?
Yes I did. Thank you for watching and your continued support.
Book case
Deserved a so much better home than that dinky little room.
The room was a client's office space and the bookcases were built in an effort to maximize their use. Thanks very much.
sorry i think that design looks tacky, you may want to try screwing your cabinets together and you may not have to worry about extra support
