Progress on the Library Shelves
From the raw material in the rough of the first photo, the rift-sawn oak boards have now been milled to a little over one inch and paired with other boards to make a good grain match in approximate 15-inch widths. After the clamping and gluing, Mark has stroke-sanded each panel and stacked them as shown in the photo. The next step will be to put them through a wide belt sander to insure a consistent thickness. After this sanding, Mark will code each board for their potential future use in the various units of the bookcase structure.
