Simplicity meets sturdy construction in this versatile storage project.

By John English

Stickley emphasized the relationship between beauty, simplicity and function in all his designs. I aimed for his three ideals in my approach to this classic project. Its through tenon joinery, matching wood plugs, triple slats and gentle curved lower rails lend an understated elegance. The bookshelf isn't hard to build, although I learned that cutting a perfect through tenon joint isn't as easy as it looks. (You'll probably end up with a few practice joints in your scrap bin, like I did, before you have the technique down cold!) As far as function goes, the center shelves are adjustable and should suit anyone's library or assortment of collectibles. If you like what you see, round up some white oak and let's get started.
