I followed the plans for the '6 cube bookshelf' but wanted an open shelf on top as well as a back board. For the back I purchased a few feet of 1x5 pine and cut it to fit snug between the lower and upper 1x2s that were used as trim. I left out the middle 1x2 board on the back (from the original plans) so that everything fit flush. I secured the back boards with finishing nails across the middle shelf and some wood glue.
Built from Plan(s)
Estimated Cost
$120
Estimated Time Investment
Day Project (6-9 Hours)
Finish Used
Wood conditioner prior to using a Dark Walnut stain- one coat. We roughed up the boards with a rock so the pine would look a little beat up.

I just followed the plans for the 6 Cube bookshelf already listed. The only modification was leaving out the backside middle horizontal 1x2 so that I could lay in the back boards vertically. The original plans don't have a back included in the cut list. I finished the project and stained it before adding the back just to make the finishing easier.
