The New Yankee Workshop Season 16 Episode 4
This bookcase will surprise many fans because it is unlike most Shaker designs. Elder Green built the original unusual cupboard in 1898 to contain a particular selection of documents in the Shaker Community library in Sabbathday Lake, Maine. Green built his bookcase of butternut and walnut and included a complicated cornice, built of several mouldings. Norm revised the original, making it somewhat shorter and narrower and built his of cherry.
