I've said it before and I'll say it again: wood is a fickle mistress. Some days she loves you. Some days she's patient and kind. But some days, you try building a bookcase with $2400 worth of warped wood. Because, masochism. Turn out purdy in the end though, didn't she?

Your mother's reaction...I can SO relate. When I developed my prototype for the heirloom and keepsake boxes I make for our Etsy store, I wanted ALL WOOD with no metal hardware allowing the wood to "speak, uninterrupted by flashy metals"...a monolithic design relying completely on the medium itself to do all the heavy lifting of the hinge, handles, and even the latch I had to invent for this design. Her fist response when seeing it..."Boy, you better get some nice hardware on that thing or you ain't gonna to sell the first one!" lol...gotta love 'em

Hi Eric, 35 years ago I bought some curly red oak planks. After 12 years in my basement, they got made into a china cabinet. None of those boards EVER settled down. They still move, twist, etc. But, I made my joints well, and the top, which moves the most , has almost 12 mm of room to move. Seeing your boards I just knew they would be moving. A lot. You will know in ten years if you did a good job of working with that wood. Nice solution to the emergent domino problem. I did the same thing on the last bookcase I built. Oops but not oops. In all you did a very commendable job on the piece. Cheers, Keith

Ahhh, Working with warped wood ... Woodworker's bane or blessing!?! I kind of (oddly) enjoy working with difficult pieces. It forces me to figure out work arounds and when I do get straight pieces, it goes so much easier with the mental toolbox I'v developed with the less than perfect pieces. I'm sure that anyone who has done more than one or two projects have had those S#@%! moments with a brain fart in the joinery process. 🤣 Always provides for a brain itch and a design change on the fly lol. Beautiful yet subtle but at the same time an elegant fix. Drawing the darker contrast up. Personally, I think it actually connected the casework to the plinth much better than if it were just a clean face. Once again, outstanding video on an elegant project 👍

I am giving some thought to growing my own timber in Portugal. The big problem is wood takes so long to grow and season. Then I had a bright idea roundwood is 1.5 times as strong as the same ordinary timber. It is also radially symetrical so should not cup or warp. With this method, you dont even need straight timber. Just match the grains. I am looking forward to making a dining room table.

The plugs are an interesting solution I never would have come ip with. I would have probably made floating tenons out of oak, and then made it look like wedged, through mortise & tenons were the original plan, by squaring off the oak tenons & putting a contrasting wedge in them. I like the zircote plug thing though. Always wanted to do that & always forget it's a thing.

Awesome result regardless of where the wood started. I often go to the big box/lumber yards and deliberately buy their 'potato chip' sheets of plywood (for a little discount). It's going to get cut down so as you note, you can cut around and shap the curved pieces as needed.

that's stunning! I recently had the same problem with some bookmatched curly walnut for a sideboard I made, even though I managed to do exactly what you did here with joinery (getting everything flat) I didn't feel comfortable with how it would hold up over time and started from scratch again.the piece was a commission so it was a risk I wasn't willing to take . I was hoping you'd go with hide glue on this one, makes it easily repairable should any of the joints come apart (given how much tension there is) and I would be really interested to see how this holds up over time. The Ziricote accents are lovely, the figure of that oak is also beautiful and elegant ... well done!

For sure. I'm interested to see myself. It *should* relax and ease with time. But that's just a theory...

Dude! Kudos! No one even knows the word plinth any more. Just when I think you've reached a pinnacle of cool... fucking plinth. Excellent.

Building for your Mum.... No pressure (just don't screw the pouch), but you nailed it in spades. Your Mom is right to be proud of her son, so you should be proud to be her son (no matter whatever you think your flaws are). You doubt your skills and yourself when you shouldn't. To doubt is human.but doubt doesn't make us less of a person. Believe in yourself, because if you don't believe in yourself, who will? A perfectionist will always doubt themselves (and you are a perfectionist in spades). Your Mum (I'm Antipodean; its Mum, not Mom) has the right to be very proud of her son. Your Mum has every right to be proud of her son

Turned out beautiful! I just recently made a jelly cabinet and blew through the sides with the domino. UGH!!! Very frustrating. Also went right into my MFT table. Not cool. I was able to salvage it but the plug idea would have been much easier.

Beautiful as always instead of putting those domino plugs I would have just made some small floating shelves for plants.

I love watching your videos I always learn something. I need to know more about expansion and contraction and how to integrate into my projects. Where can I go to find out more thorough and reliable information about that?

That was a typical Mum reaction. Funny part is we forget that after having raised us, Mums are pretty much surprise proof with anything we do... And let me guess, fixing the hole in the wall is a job that has been on your list for at least the last 10 years, right?😂

Another beautiful project by the master! I kept wondering if someone is going to push a book too far and out it goes the other side. lol The happy mistake is an excellent visual feature. Makes it even classier.

We considered glass on the back up but I think it would have cut off the staircase too much. The interplay between the two spaces is critical!

I'm curious if you'd wanted to miter the box how you might have approached it with this challenging wood.
