This bookcase is based on an an Arts & Crafts styled bookcase I saw online. The measurements of the piece online was about 6’x6′. Before building such a large piece of furniture base on plans drawn from a photograph, I scaled the size down and built this smaller one to be sure the balance and dimensioning looked right.
Made of Cherry, mortise and tenon joints hold the frame and shelf in place; tacks hold the back slats and a few pockethole screw were used to secure the bottom shelf.
