      Thanks all for the kind words. I've been super busy with work, so I'm just glad to have them pretty much done. I still have to make the adjustable shelves, but at least these can go in place and be useful.

      WoodButcher26 - nope, I didn't bother to fill them, as you get enough coats of urethaine on them, it levels out. I didn't do a rub out on these, but I did do a fine knockdown on the last 2 coats.

      The finish is a stain made up to match, and many coats of wipe on poly.

      Here is an image of them where they belong...

        Very impressive, Keith! They are beautiful together! I like the way the curved tops on the bookcases contrast with the entertainment center. It adds a lot of interest.

          Yes indeed, beautiful work Keith. What type of wood did you use? They look pretty thick. Not a bad thing I'm just trying to learn something here. I mean I don't see thick wood like that at Lowe's or HD so just wondering where a person buys wood that thick and kind?
