Ok another bookshelf for my sister-in-law, Ellisa. This one made of blue stained pine. Found out the blue stain is from some beetle and fungus but it’s still a nice lumber. You can see the raw boards in the pre-build pic.
These things are cool to look at but hard to find a place to put them. You just can’t pick a side to “face forward”.
thanks for looking!

Hi Recylce1943 – Actually the beetles stain the pine the blue color, it comes that way. The pic of the unassembled parts is their natural color.
