About this Workshop

This compact bookcase was featured in the September 2010 issue of WOOD magazine. Inspired by a Roycroft design from the early 1900s, this version replaces the traditional joinery with modern loose-tenon joinery. What appear to be wedged through tenons are actually glued-on false tenons. At the top, a blank drawer front blends so seamlessly into the design that students may not realize it is there until they learn the secret to opening it.

Key Points

  • Loose-tenon joinery
  • Forming faux through wedged tenons
  • Complex case construction
  • Building a simple drawer with one of the best drawer joints ever
