Home Depot Didn't Make This Color ...

... so we bought two gallons, one a little too dark, the other a little too light, and mixed them ourselves.

The color is darker than shown on the mixer attachment.

In the Home Stretch...

First I selected the top "component" and used Resize to stretch it. I typed in "1,5,1" to scale it by a factor of 1.5 horizontally and keep the same dimnension vertically.

Table- side aprons stretched

Next I selected two opposing side apron components and used Resize to stretch them. Then I selected the two left-hand legs and the apron component that spans them and used "move" to move the three components to the ends of the stretched aprons.

Handscrew to hold the first side upright

This was very handy. I used a handscrew clamp on each end to hold the first side of the bookcase upright while I inserted the shelves in the dadoes. There is a straightedge clamped to the bench behind the bookcase side to hold it straight and in position.

Too Glossy?

I'll probably rub this side down with some steel wool and then brown paper to tone down the gloss a little. But I decided it would be better to do that after the glue up, which might produce some scratches.

Shims for clamping pressure
