I designed this piece when Megan Fitzpatrick, editor of Popular Woodworking, invited me to submit a project article for an Arts & Crafts-style bookcase. Although the design is original, its construction and aesthetic pay homage to longtime English furniture manufacturer Harris Lebus. The sides–straightforward slabs glued directly to legs, not frame-and-panel–are characteristic of many Lebus pieces from the early 20th century, as are the leaded glass doors, built-up feet, and brackets under the top.
See my blog post on the piece.
