Here are some more pictures:

I originally posted this in the woodworking subreddit. It's my first real woodworking project. Here's the description I included with that post:

I am happy to report that so far I have not regretted bringing home that radial arm saw a few months ago. I used it to successfully build a small, adjustable bookshelf for my sister's baby shower.

I made it from 3/4" Europly with maple veneer and finished it with Odie's Oil. I glued all the joints with Titebond III. The back is 1/8" hardboard to which I applied a cool looking adhesive backed wallpaper.

I didn't have a dado stack, so I got a little creative with the joints for the legs. I think it worked out because the plys are continuous the same way they are around the mitered corners.

Not sure what my next project will be, but I'm looking forward to doing something soon. My family was really impressed, so this effort felt really rewarding.

The way the plys line up is fantastic, especially those bottom legs.

Thanks! It seems like a quiet community over there, but let's see how it does.

Dog for scale. Also that's a fine bookshelf

The mitres on those corners are perfection — exquisite cuts.

The legs are also very creative for not having a way to do dados.

Is it just glue holding this together, or did you end up adding some brads or some screws?

Nice work

Thank you very much! It all glue except for the back which I nailed on using small brass nails.

Really great work! You should feel very proud
