About this piece
Bookmatched cherry writing desk, two drawers with hand-cut dovetails, milled inkwell on the right side of the top. For a writer in a third-floor Brooklyn walkup. Lead time: ten weeks.
Progress
-
Drawer dovetails cut. Pins by hand, tails on the machine. The visible joinery on this piece is pins-out, which always looks crisper when the pins are hand-cut.
-
Resawed the slabs for the bookmatch. The mirrored grain runs straight through the centerline of the desk.
-
Wood arrived this morning. Two cherry boards from the same tree, quartersawn, 8/4, kiln-dried to 7% moisture. Pulling the best section for the top now.
