Norm uses native Sonoran desert hardwood to create a mesquite bookcase.
Norm's expedition to Arizona in search of Arts and Crafts-style
furniture projects to build in the New Yankee Workshop leads him to
Arroyo Design, a small custom furniture company in Tucson, where he
spies a beautiful, glass-front bookcase inspired by the famous
Greene Brothers. Featuring divided pane windows and the Greene
Brothers' trademark square-peg detailing, its true artisan
qualities make it one of the most sophisticated pieces in this
season's collection. To ensure its heirloom value, Norm crafts this
project out of mesquite and, in the process, educates viewers on
how to work with this native Sonoran desert hardwood.
