754 Library Case Specifications

General Construction:

All wood used in the construction of parts and shelving will be kiln-dried hardwood containing moisture content of 5% - 7% at the time of fabrication. All woods will be selected for uniformity of grain and color. Wood used for internal parts will be selected to be structurally sound.

Top and bottom are secured to the ends and vertical center partition by mortise and tennon securely glued.  In addition, a lumber frame is used to secure the top to the ends. The top front molding being an integral part of this frame.  The base is a complete 4 sided box recessed 1-1/4" in at front and ends. The two doors close against the vertical center partition, kept tight by magnetic catches and secured by a lock in each door. The large ornamental keys are used as door pulls.  All doors are keyed alike.  Bookcases are shipped completely trimmed and set up ready for use (except for placement of shelves). The two front corners are equipped with heavy adjustable height supports to equalize floor unevenness.

Wood Finishes:

In the manufacturing process, hardwood parts are glued, cut to size, machine and finish sanded on a 2-head wide belt-finishing sander. Hardwood veneer end panels are finish sanded on a Heesman automatic veneer panel sander. Finish sanding of veneer panels and hardwood parts include the use of 100, 120, and 150 grit-sanding belts.

After parts are assembled into a freestanding unit, final hand sanding and inspection prepared the unit for the first finishing step. The selected color finish is hand applied and cloth wiped to provide a uniform color.

One coat of sealer is applied with an airless sprayer and allowed to cure. After curing, the sealer is sanded with 220 grit sandpaper to provide a uniform smooth surface.

A final lacquer topcoat is applied with an airless sprayer and cured in a heated drying room. The topcoat dries smooth to approximately a 30-sheen finish, which is resistant to normal wear and scratching.
