My daughter wanted a desk out of walnut and left the design to me. The walnut is from the same tree as the walnut dining table I completed recently. Web frame construction with frame and planel back and sides. Top is a 2 board book match. The legs are a modified tapers with the the legs going from square to elliptical at the bottom. Wanted a little more delicate legs rather than a straight taper. The pulls were hand shaped. This was a fun project. My daughter seems pleased with it. Sorry for the poor quality pics its only my cell phone.

There are two theories to arguing with a woman... neither works.

Great design and nice clean execution.  And the grain in those drawer panels is amazing.  What was your finishing schedule?

Oh, WOW!. That is fantastic!
Yes I'm also curious about the finishing schedule.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.
