Step 9Adding the Trim
This part was a little bit tricky. Trim always is tricky and while I've done baseboard before, this was my first attempt at doing it on a bookshelf. I'm happy with the way that it turned out, but there was some trial and error involved.
I cut the sides first and then the front. I don't know why, it just seemed like the right thing to do. I felt that if I could get the sides to work, I would have some flexibility in the front to shim it in there. It wasn't that bad, you just need to be careful how you cut. A power saw might rip a bit too much and leave you with a gap, just drop some fake wood and sand it down and you are in good shape.
Sorry for the bad angle in the photo.
