Little Journey's
This project is from Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture by Robert Lange. I have much more about its construction detailed in my blog .
The finish ended up being fumed followed by tinted shellac and dark wax. I like it.
This project looks simple, but has a ton of handwork including the 16 through mortises.
A few pics
A shot of the top in the sun.
Close up on the tusks and through tenons. All handwork.
Looking up at the figure eight clips.
And now a look at the books. The piece was originally made by Elbert Hubbard to display a set of books called Little Journeys. I bought a set on e-bay and they have really cool covers and spines. They include titles like Little Journeys to the Homes of ….. Famous Women or English Authors

Very nice. Thanks for posting the finished picture... I've been wondering how it turned out! I love the books on it.

That is a beautiful piece of furniture! I haven't made it too far in your blog, but do you make these yourself? Amazing.
