Matching handmade bookcases

My dad and my husband Steven have been working in their work shop on a set of matching bookcases for Maeve and Tina. Dad & Steven started this project late last August but then took some time off. Now, they are back concentrating on it and getting near a finished product! Below, picking out wood from my dad's stash. They chose Cherry wood for this project.

My dad drawing up plans, he drafted them himself.

They glued the shelves together with wood glue… they needed to put two pieces of Cherry together to get the size they needed.

My is dad cutting the shelves…

I think Steven brings out the "kid" in my dad!! 

Almost done. There are two of these matching bookshelves. 

I'll catch up again here soon with you, as I have my final sketchbook pages to share - it is completely done. I am psyched and will mail it tomorrow. I've also been busy preparing for a fabulous collaborative project with 3 other amazing artists that will begin in February. You'll hear all about it very soon, I promise.
