I was commissioned to make this bookcase and doors . The bookcase had to open to reveal a secret tunnel leading under the front porch.The tunnel leads to a small window for the children of the house to watch the special quests who were coming to the party which they could not attend.

I used blum 165 semi concealed hinges with a wheel on the bottom to help hold the weight of the bookcase. This was a challenging piece because most secret bookcase doors push into the room and don't come out. This is one of two which I built for the house. The other was off his foyer leading into his office.
