Classic Desk
|
| Below are pictures a Classic Pedestal
Desk of my own design. Built for a small office, this
desk features a single drawer pull pedestal. The piece is
solid Quarter Sawn White Oak, including the 3/8"
thick panels that make up the frame and panel
construction. All of the carcase joinery is mortise and
tenon with the floating panels dadoed into the legs. |
 |
The piece measures 50" wide by 28" deep by
30" tall. The drawers are on full extension Accuride
slides. The finish is blonde Paddylac shellac applied
with a brush. |
 |
Here is a view while still in the shop, before the
top was completed. Note the appearance of the three
drawer array in the pedestal. Yes, that is my messy shop
in the background. |
| Here you can see that the three drawers
are actually only two, the lower one being a hanging file
drawer. The illusion holds even when viewed very closely.
The drawers are dovetailed front and back. The center
drawer is functional as well. |
