I've got plenty of ambition... I'm not sure if my talent can keep up
Dave warned me how difficult this was going to be and I threw caution to the wind and started it anyway.
I'm so excited to tackle this!
I can't get the smile off of my face.

Peter, great start. That is something I have imagined I might make some day, as well. Ken

Peter if you work at Diaman speed you should be done in a few days
Nice vacay spot, woodworkers paradise.

I'm no where near Diaman speed.
To watch him work is incredible. It really is a woodworkers paradise.
But he cuts his dovetails wrong... pins first

First I have not a clue what you are making except it is to be a desk.

Keep up the good work

Great start to a really ambitious project. When done, you will have not only a beautiful piece, but also a treasure trove of new skills. Please keep us in the loop.

There are times when a craftsman has to seemingly destroy something in order to make the final product beautiful.
I think this desk may well be one of those instances.
Now, once you get it to your liking---or run out of wood, you will need to find out how to do a finish that preserves the beauty. That may well be more difficult than working the wood.
