Book & Display Case

Work-in-Progress

This couple requested a bookcase, based on a wine cabinet they had seen. Using Mahagony wood, the design incorporated diagonal shelves for books and horizonal shelves for decor. 
The shaped beading on the top, bottom, and side edges added interest, and softened the appearance of this large furniture piece.
The couple was delighted with the results, and enjoy showing it to family and friends!
