I'd like to thank everyone (especially Mike Suiter, he has some of his work at suiteronline.com) for help on my first big project.
It's a copy of this bookcase: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.aspx?c=996&f=22558
Made from solid ash, joined with rabbets/dados, a couple of half laps and Miller dowels (I have a detailed sketchup file if anyone wants it) and the finish is ebozined with India Ink and Waterlox (3 coats of original/2 coats of 50/50 orig/satin per Mike)....
It came out great (for a first project)....Some things I learned were to apply thinner coats of waterlox, the finish is a bit 'heavy', however noone but me notices...Also, ash is a splintery wood, extra care is needed if you even look at the edges or corners funny. I also learned that tackling this complex of a finishing schedule requires plenty of patience at my beginner level and that there is no such thing as too much india ink The black is a little weak in spots....
Again, thanks, and when I get the back finished and installed, I'll take some more pics....
