The entire bookcase unit was sprayed with a high resin high gloss lacquer which will give years and years of long-lasting protection and beauty.

As shown in this next picture of this elegant solid cherry wood bookcase, the attention to detail that the customer wanted was achieved in their home office renovation bookcase project. Please note the tight fitting gapless seams on either side and the 5 inch solid wood cherry crown molding tying the shelf header face to the ceiling.

The base molding for this library style bookcase project was installed at a later date so it could be set on top of their newly installed solid wood tongue and groove flooring for that professional look.

The solid wood maple built-in bookcase in this picture was designed by a Queen's Village Center City Philadelphia business person who desired an old fashion library style bookcase.

As requested by the customers their existing 12' high ceiling was brought down to a level that accommodated this maple bookcase height while still leaving ample room for the large over sized 7 inch crown molding that superbly ties in this gorgeous bookcase to its neighboring ceiling. The matching maple rolling ladder for this bookcase can be easily adjusted and stored closer for more floor space and easy cleaning.

This massive cherry wood fireplace surround bookcase stands 13 feet in height and has a width of 10 feet.

This cherry wood bookcase was manufactured by me and installed for a Queen's Village Center City Philadelphia businesswoman who had two purposes in mind for her bookcase project. She wanted a beautiful fireplace surround bookcase to complement her living room and while squaring off this oddly shaped area of her living room. As you can see in this picture, the black granite hearth and top crown molding are set at 30° angles, joining this bookcase unit to the neighboring angled walls. This 30° angle was also carried throughout the wall sides of this cherry wood bookcase and also served as a perfect way to anchor this bookcase unit to the wall studs.

This next picture gives a better idea of the challenge these angled walls presented to the design and construction of this rich and elegant cherry wood bookcase. Certain steps were made before construction was started for this bookcase so it could achieve the character it now possesses. Templates had to be made from quarter inch plywood copying the existing wall angles at the bottom portion of the walls, then the middle sections and lastly the top section. By using fixed plywood templates to copy the wall angles, construction for this bookcase, or any other bookcase project, can be completely accomplished and without worry or revisiting the project site.
