This desk was used to showcase my skills accumulated over 20 years of furniture making. Critical attention was given to grain selection in order to successfully blend the sculpted curves and sinuous lines. The case joinery and drawer interiors feature hand-cut dovetails. The drawers were meticulously fit with exceptionally smooth gliding hard maple runners. The drawer pulls were sculpted from the solid drawer fronts. Tiger Maple Chair completes the set.
