Open assignment using joinery techniques we learned
This is pretty straightforward, I knew we’d have an open final, and I’d be moving into an apartment for the summer, and making practical, usable things was the reason I signed up for this class, so I made a big bookshelf. I used cherry for the wood, half-blind dovetails to attach the top, and wedged mortise and tenons for the shelves. It’s not glued or oiled (or wedged) in these photos yet, but getting it done before the shop closed was a task in itself. Finishing it will be a summer project. It changed from its original drawing because the dimensions changed. I realized I had more wood than I’d planned, and rather than just having leftovers, I figured I’d use them while I could (I don’t have summer access to a woodshop) and just get more storage space for all our stuff.
