Built-in cabinets, bookcases, and mantel


I finished this project around the end of July 2007. I’d been working on this for about 4 months for an hour or two each night and when I had some free time on the weekends. There are six lower storage cabinets with a shelf inside and just above are display nooks. Above that are about 4’ high bookcases. The backs of the bookcases and nooks are MDF beadboard. There are six shallow but wide drawers on Blum Blumotion slides. The mantel surround is made of plywood, MDF, and hardwood edging. The wood is mostly birch and some beech (whatever was handy), birch plywood, and some MDF. The raised panels in the doors are MDF for stability. Total length is 22’ and finished height is about 9’.
