Woodsmith Traditional Oak Bookcase Plan
This bookcase has all the good looks of a quality piece of furniture, but we’ve simplified the construction to make it easier to build. Plinth blocks, dentil molding, and other details ensure that you'll get plenty of compliments. Because the case and shelves are all cut from plywood, you’ll be off to a running start. And there’s no complicated joinery, which makes the work go even faster. Pocket hole screws hold the case together and are used to assemble the face frame and back panel for a quick build. The shop-made trim is flush with the sides of the case, so additional bookcases will fit together to look like one unit when standing side-by-side.
We offer the Woodsmith Traditional Oak Bookcase plan as a downloadable PDF or a printed format that we ship to you.
Step-by-step instructions, exploded views, materials list, and more—these plans have everything you need to build your own Traditional Oak Bookcase.
