- I have recently acquired 2,000+ board feet of hardwood and decided to make a solid walnut bookshelf. In this video I go through the steps to build and finish a timeless piece that will serve our family for many years to come.

The board room is brilliant! Stealing it!
Right? I think it’s so fitting. I have a corporate day job so the name kinda fits on a few levels 😁
it's already been coined by Mike Farrington.
I love the live edge look. Nice project and stellar video 👍. Always a treat in my notifications tab.
Thank you. I was really happy with how this one turned out.
Beautiful! I'm looking to build a similar bookshelf - probably much bigger - and this gives me a lot of ideas about the grains and finishes!! I don't have a domino cutter, so I'll probably go the dowel and/or pocket hole route. Thanks for this!!! God Bless Texas!!!
Thanks Tom, hopefully this helps you when you build yours. :)
Beautiful job!
What you said about the domino arouns 14:20 is the same feeling I get with my dowelmax.
Great timing too; this reminds me I need to build a small wall mounted book shelf for some of my more frequently referenced books.
Thank you! I love how the pieces end up fitting together like legos. It's very satisfying to see all of it come together.
For new wood workers - do you have any tips on how you build with hardwood to deal with expansion / contraction? Does the domino for joinery prevent the wood from warping, like a box joint?
This is complicated question to answer here, so I will have to summarize my response and will have to leave out a lot of details. Here are a few key points:
1. Wood will always move and you should design for that rather than just trying to restrict the movement
2. Wood moves mostly across the width of the board (it doesn't move nearly as much along the length of the board or the thickness of the board).
3. Using multiple narrower pieces is usually better for movement than using one very large piece
4. It's important to start with properly dried lumber that has been acclimated to your environment prior to milling.
There is lots more to this topic, but this article is a good starting point if you want to read more about it: www.familyhandyman.com/project/wood-movement-101/
Great project. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Jonathan 😁
That wood will last you a decade! 😀 side note, are the folks you bought the wood from willing to sell the red truck? 🤔
It sure will. Funny enough, I did ask them about the truck and they said they are going to keep it. Womp womp :(
Sir I really love your work with one exception.....just a little constructive criticism. I don't think the walnut Rubio is adding anything to the finish of the walnut. I personally belive it takes away from walnuts natural beauty. I have seen you use that a few times now and I think you would see better results with the pure Rubio. Just food for thought. Otherwise great work.
Just for you, I will finish my next furniture project in Rubio Monocoat pure. Thanks for the feedback brother.
Beautiful work as always! Do you have any concerns about wood expansion along the side panel, and "domino'ing" them to the legs?
It's absolutely something that I considered as a part of the design. I am not concerned about the boards expanding length-wise, but rather, width wise across the board. For the side panels that are ~10" wide the dimensional change coefficient for walnut is 0.00274 for flat sawn boards and 0.0019 for quarter sawn boards. Given the annual moisture swings in my area, I estimate the maximum dimensional change for the side panels to be 0.082". This relatively small movement didn't give me much concern for the side panels. There is a great one-pager about how to calculate these dimensional changes here: cdn.popularwoodworking.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/WoodMovement.pdf
I had no idea that was something you can calculate, very helpful, thanks for sharing that article!
I would be concerned about wood movement on the sides.
