quad lights at the top of the door.
Maybe they let the floor manager decide what to build. Oops!
I'd use it for setting down a pile of plates before shuffling them back into the belly of the beast.
With white plates behind them, you might be able to see a bit, but they are mighty ugly, huh?

Yes, our tastes do vary. I wouldn't have a period piece in my home, period. (Bad pun alert!) Queen Anne can keep her legs while Sheraton, chippendale, et al can keep their stuff. I'm not fond of any of it.
I picked up that picture from a book on Morris, but don't know if he had any design input for the Liberty sideboards. YMMV.

Are you aware of "Popular Woodworking" February issue(#146)? The cover project is the #700 bookcase and the author is Robert W. Lang ( also the author of "Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture - 27 Stickley Designs For Every Room in the Home"). I've been in touch with him about this project - he forgot to specify that he used dark brown Briwax and to wait two weeks after shellacing the piece before waxing it. It also looks like he pinned the tennons in one of the pictures.
Briwax uses toluene as the solvent so the shellac needs extra curing time. Oh yeah, you need 55 board feet of QS white oak (includes 15% wastage ).
I'm going to build this before I start on the #719 with mitered glass. I have everything I need except the oak which I'll get next week.

Oops, I dropped an "h" in "sehr gut" there, didn't I?
No, I wasn't. I wonder if the issue is still available on newsstands. (calling Blind George's News Stand now...not open yet) I'll look for it at the library this week, too. Thanks for the heads-up.
I have his "More" book and the "Inlay" book from that series. It's very cool that the author is available for consultation.
Dark wax for hiding itself when it fills the pores?
FIFTY FIVE FEET? How big are those beasties? Checking scans...oh, 14" by 32" by about 5'. That's $275 in wood alone at prices here. Ouch! That's the kind of project where you want all of the wood to be from the same tree, so it all fumes to the same depth.
Pics, please. Maybe I'll get to that dictionary stand this week. I have the fuming tent all done and sitting on the back porch waiting for me.

The problem is the back - shiplapped QS, 12 each 4 7/8 x 23 7/16. You could use QS plywood, but that's $100+ at Condon. I think I'm going with the original Ellis design. Instead of the 4 panes of leaded glass, I'll use a single piece of glass to get the thing completed.
I've been looking at stained glass supplies and techniques and those panes can be replaced later if I really want them. It sounds easy, but lots of things sound easy until you try to do them. 50/50 lead-tin solder, lead U track, lead H track, cut with a knife and solder together. Simple right? Unless your iron is too hot and melts the lead... or...
They may be solid wood, but the quality is still terrible.
