I finished a pine bookcase this past week. The top was dovetailed together, the bottom shelf has 3 thru tenons and the shelves were doweled in. The base molding was had made using moulding planes. This bookcase was built around a sheet of 2'x4' birch plywood from local hardware store. Stained with min wax golden oak and a lacquer semi-gloss finish. I filmed the build and you can view it here.
