I built this bookcase a few years ago, thinking I might be able to sell it at an open house my shop was involved in. I had a lot of interest, but no buyers. It now houses my Tolkein collection.

I built it largely from mahogany I had laying around the shop. The brass grill is expensive, but that was left over from another job as well. I did spend some money on the solid brass hardware - expensive, but worth it.
