Jeff Branch Architectural Bookcase

Introducing the Free Woodworking Plan: The Architectural Bookcase by Jeff Branch. Inspired by the timeless design of William Blathwyat's 1695 book press, this bookcase combines classic elegance with modern functionality. Standing at seven feet tall, it features a larger lower case and the removal of glass doors for a contemporary twist. The ornate carvings are replaced with layered moldings, achieving a visually appealing look. With easy construction techniques in mind, this plan utilizes simple box structures and dado joinery. The adjustable shelves and slat back add versatility and a vertical feel to the piece. Dress it up with router-fabricated moldings and bun feet for a polished finish. Experience the satisfaction of building this grand bookcase, divided into two sections for simplified construction.
