Gothic bookcase
-
I came across this piece in the One King's Lane web site. It's a small (4-ft. high) bookcase. The cutouts on the side pieces were a bit of a challenge. So were the curved corners on the base and crown moldings. All I had were overall dimensions, so I imported one of the images and used it to estimate other dimensions.
I think I came close. Gave me something to do between plays during today's football games.
Let me know what you think.

Very nice work, David. Very nice. That site has a lot of cool old furniture, doesn't it?
BTW, I only found a few edges to soften, a few coplanar edges to delete and the shelf below the cutouts to round over. There was also some unused stuff to purge.

Thank you, sir.
Yes, the One King's Lane site does have some interesting stuff. Decent photos, too, for those who want to try to model some of the furniture.As for my model, I couldn't decide how to handle that one shelf; I thought a rounded-over edge would look odd, so I left it square. But I may change my mind again. Truth be told, once I got the cutouts in the sides looking right and did the rounded-corner molding, the rest of the piece wasn't that interesting. A shelf is a shelf is a shelf; not much one can do with that.
Best,
