Circle library, back liners and mirror

Since the plywood wall would stain different from the basswood and veneer, I needed to cover it. That's why I wasn't especially careful in marking it up during the rest of the construction.
I cut the liners from 1/32" thick basswood. This thickness of wood barely reduces the shelf depth, and I did take that into consideration when I cut the horizontal boards. The curved edges sit under the circle, so the joins are not visible when the circle is in place. I cut two curved shapes for behind the shelves of the circle. The curves didn't need to be precise, so I cut them with an X-Acto by hand.
I cut Darice mirror sheet for the center section. I will have to line the back of the mirror to bring it up to the matching 1/32" thickness. I'll use layers of paper when I get to that part. For now, I've left the protective film on it.
I plan to stain and finish these pieces separately in case of disaster. :] I can always recut, remake, redo, etc. But, it would be a right proper pain to tear out once installed. Besides, I have window/door/floor holes to cut and walls to prime. Best to install the library later after the mess.
