How to build a Desk Top Easel
Recently I built a desk top art easel for my mother for Christmas, She requested one from Santa, but since he is busy making toys for all the boys and girls, the task was up to me.
This Easel is a great gift for the artist in your life. A fun build and a beautiful piece. The easel is made of Walnut and Oak it features two trays which can hold all of your paint supplies, as well as a paint pallet made from birch. The brass hardware and Oak Splines really set this piece off.
This two part video project is lengthy but full of build details and information to assist you in building one of your own..


for more images of this project, and a look inside see my projects gallery
Here is a look at the build.
If you would like a custom Art Easel like this one. You can reach me through email Laney@asimpledesignofocala.com
I would be happy to make one for you!!
If you are a woodworker, these videos are full instructional, which will allow you to make one of your very own. Happy Woodworking
