Built as part of a full house remodel, this corner bookcase needed to blend in with a bunch of small accent details the client had used throughout the home, so I finished it in the same deep bronze tone to tie it into the rest of the house. It's built from 3/4 inch Baltic birch plywood, with the shelves sliding into dadoes cut into two long side panels, then glued and screwed from the back.
The hardest part was getting the curved corners right. There was no way to machine them perfectly by hand, so I made a template on my laser cutter out of 1/4 inch plywood, used it to trace the curve onto each panel, rough-cut with a jigsaw, then cleaned it up with a flush-trim bit on the router until the curve was seamless. The dadoes were also cut tight on purpose, to keep the shelves locked in securely, which made it a bit of a challenge to line everything up and glue it all in place before it set. In the end it turned into a nice little accent piece for the room.
