Question: How would you create uniformity in the look of the bookshelf?
Option 0: First you will want to get any sandpaper grit and sand every piece of wood to a smooth surface.  From there, you will want to obtain a stain or oil that will create a uniform finish and dip the wood into it to apply it quickly and efficiently.  Following that, you will want to let the wood drive in a well ventilated space before evaluating if the color you obtained was what you wanted, if not, repeat the staining process until happy.
