SUMMARY

Our ‘Taliesin’ bookcase is a simple, classic design with versatile options. The shelves are adjustable with multiple mounting options, providing an ideal storage piece to display your most treasured personal items. We chose alder as the material used for our first bookcase because of it’s traditional presence in mountain homes and ski lodge design specifically to tie back to where we reside in Lake Tahoe, while also growing in popularity within urban design. Alder is an attractive, close-grain species, with a nice uniform color, a fine texture, and it’s natural characteristics allow it to seamlessly integrate into a variety of building styles.Alder was an important symbolic tree in Celtic tradition, representing strength, release, determination and protection. We named this alder bookcase ‘Taliesin’ which is the name of a 6th-century Welsh poet who’s name translates to "shining brow" (also a nod to the arched top of the bookcase).A variety of materials and finishes are available in this design, and it can be custom-built at just about any dimensions that fits your needs.

ECO-FRIENDLY HARDWAX OIL FINISH |  Our preferred finishing method and product, made from environmentally-friendly components for eco-conscious customers. Osmo Polyx Oil is derived from natural plant oils and waxes, providing a hard-wearing and protective surface that is resistant to common liquid spills. The finish maintains the natural look and feel of the wood, all while offering protection and durability. One major advantage of hardwax oil is that it’s incredibly easy to repair/maintain, and in the event that minor signs of use occur the finish can be spot repaired with no overlap marks. With Osmo's maintenance liquid wax cleaner it's simple and quick to bring the finish "back to life" (products can be found here: Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner and here: Osmo Hardwax Oil Finish). To avoid minor signs of use, we recommend using coasters under serveware containing hot or cold liquids as well as cleaning up spills so as to not leave any moisture to set in over long periods that can cause spots or rings to occur to maintain the condition of the wood. We are ever-committed to reducing the amount of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) we emit during our production process for environmentally conscious reasons, and are also trying to reduce the amount of toxins that our crew is exposed to for health safety precautions. Additionally, the hardwax-oil is a rub-on application (vs. other harsher methods such as spray-on which causes the finish to become airborne), and can be continuously DIY applied to refresh the wood on your table.

Other wood finish options are available upon request including commercial grade finishes and outdoor finishes. Please use button link to review other wood finish options (pricing may vary).
