MCM Bookshelf Progress

I’m making a Mid Century Modern Bookshelf for my bedroom. I chose 3/4” sande plywood for the material as well as Espresso colored oil based stain and oil based polyurethane finish.

Updated CAD:

Below are pictures of my progress thus far, I simplified my design even further in order to have the time to complete it, and laid everything out in panel pieces in CAD. I then went ahead and cut out all of the rectangular shaped pieces on the table saw , making sure to cut everything to size, sometimes doing multiple small cuts in order to ‘inch’ my way closer to the proper size. After cutting all the panels out I got around to routing the shelf legs. I made a makeshift router table using a palm router (slightly dangerous…) and routed the table legs out to be identical size and shape.

Lastly I spent some time testing stains and finishes, before I assemble and glue-up the full shelf!
