For speed and simplicty sake, at the time, I built the shelves from 3/4" Oak plywood and banded just the front with a 1/2" x 3/4" piece of solid Oak. However, knowing the loads the shelves were sure to encounter I knew I truly needed solid Oak but... Yes the shelves are sagging and I have to look at them everyday until I get enough scrap together to build something better:) Hope this helps. If you need further help email me and I'll see what I can do RJ Peter,

Feel free to send some of that oak you hate so much my way :). I'm building a bookcase out of pine (it's pretty much my first project... ever) and your piece is one of those that simultaneously inspires me and makes me want to take an axe to mine. Question for you, perhaps a strange one... I saw you mentioned the shelves are 3/4" thick. How thick are the sides, back, and top? Wow, nice work.

Just hope that I will be good enought one day to make something like that come together. Turned out beautifully. Just my kind of project – Low cost from scrap around the house.

Especially when you consider how inexpensive it was to build. My local hardwood supplier also sells unfinished furniture. Every time I go there I see oak bookcases which are similar, but not as nice, listed for over $400. That’s an amazing piece. Especially when you consider how inexpensive it was to build.
