Making a Book Display

Hooray! The book display turned out awesome! My Dad is an awesome carpenter (his father/my grandfather was a carpenter by trade) -- and I picked up a couple skills from him... most important was "measure, measure and measure again, then take a break and measure again." With this in mind, I didn't make too many horrible mistakes! Just wish I had a few more tools to make it easier!

Everything here is very expensive including lumber. I used an old curtain rod which is why the dowels don'e all match. I figured it wouldn't matter once the material was put in place. I sewed the material and just eyeballed the measurements from rod to rod. In the end, it worked out fine!
