Sharing an Ash and Mahogany bookcase I built with the help of a little friend for his bedroom. Top is 5/4 Ash and Mahogany. Legs are 8/4 Ash. Mortise and Tenon joinery (hand cut the 24 mortises which was tough but I learned alot). Jointed boards prior to glue up with No. 6 Stanley - a wonderful tool. Used cabinet scraper and card scraper for smoothing - wanted to avoid sanding and experience how it used to be done before sanding was a big thing. Learned alot about sharpening too! Finished with Osmo. Best piece I have made to date. I hope you enjoy the photos.
