Coastal Bookcase
With a unique design, the bookcase is fun to build and sure to be a conversation piece in your home.
This unique bookcase takes its inspiration from a rowboat to give you a completely different approach to a classic woodworking project. It’s sure to be a fun addition to a kids’ room or any other room in your home. Since the design is truly nautical, it only made sense to keep this project as consistent with a real boat as we could. And that meant making parts like a “stern thwart” and “gunwales” to stay on theme. Of course, the real kicker is the curved sides that bend gently from the stem post at the top to the stern at the bottom.

Similar Woodsmith Plans
Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.
Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
