Bookcase made from "shite"

Not finished yet. Still have to put glass in the doors, polish the steel on the sides, make a top, rub mineral oil into the top, doors and sides. I made this bookcase from wood I found all over the city. There are some maple floor boards with the tongue and groove cut off, some cherry skirting boards glued together to make 3/4" boards, steel sheet pulled out of a recycling dumpster at a local factory, glass pulled out of a dumpster behind a window and door factory...

Hopefully I can sell her for $300 this summer at the Waupaca Arts Fair. I aim to have a few more bookcases made by then. This one is the biggest I'll do for now. 50" tall and 30" wide. The doors for this one I made myself but the next ones will have doors I found around the city. It's amazing what people throw away and what I can turn into cash for the family.

Better get back to the shed, me cup of tea is going cold.
