Building A Bookshelf with Japanese Style Joinery

  • Summary

  • In this episode, I build a floating bookshelf with Japanese-style joinery. The joinery is a tusk tenon that holds the bookshelf together with a wedge. This custom shelf was designed and built for a Colorado Springs Client. The shelf is made from walnut. Summary Woodworking Techniques and Japanese Bookshelf Construction Brian discussed his woodworking process, focusing on a Japanese-inspired bookshelf with through tenons. He detailed his use of a band saw to cut precise lines, a chisel to prevent tearout, and a router to cut mortises. He emphasized the importance of test fitting and precise angles to ensure a tight joint. He also mentioned the use of blue tape to protect against glue squeeze-outs and the importance of maintaining the integrity of his work.
