I shall shortly be lining out a redundant window alcove to form a set of
bookshelves. The dimensions are 80 inches tall; 24 inches wide and 10

suggest is the best way to hide the end grain on the front edges of the
carcase and shelves?

Just saw a set of router bits on the Lee Valley side that are made for
such a job.


What do the router bits do? Do they convert plywood to solid wood?


Yes. It is very clever. Matt Drudge says at his website that LV got it
from the Bush Campaign. Had Kerry pulled ahead in the polls the Bushies
were going to use it to convert Kerry from veneer ply to solid wood and
then stage a coup. But then Teresa would have had a nice looking solid
piece to put someplace in her Beacon Hill home, and that way she'd always
have solid wood when she needed it.
