Solid wood? Oak and mahogany… A pricey bookcase.

Ya it was vey pricy back then. I think I had over $1000 in materials into it at the time. At the same time in the shop I had a complete set of kitchen cabinets and a library full of book shelves (7 sets), all in production in my little workshop. All of it was in oak, but different colour stains. At the time the other two jobs paid very well so I could afford the loss on this one. I did build them a crib for the baby, and was appointed his godfather, and after that was best man too….lol

The mahogany was twice the price of oak here at the time. The top and base trim are all mahogany. Dimensions 80″ × 16″ × 40″.

Well, a heirloom now.

Not only they left you with a loss but they made sure you don’t forget all the birthdays. LOL

Wow very cool. Glad you brought this up from that company posting about bookshelves. Beautiful.

Customers can be unpredictable but you won on this one.
