The desk is finally finished. My niece wants to stain and poly it herself so I’m done with it at this point. Back up to any of the other blogs for background info on this build.
The second picture shows the drawer open and the keyboard tray extended after the front cover is pulled down. A magnetic latch holds it in a closed position.
Next build: believe it or not, a pellet stove box to hold stove pellets, made to look like a couch end table. Hmm.

looks fantastic! also would like to see it after she finishes it. I’ve seen some QSWO that were dyed brown and it actually makes the grain stand out nicer (in my opinion).

I’ve always finished Oak natural. She’s planning on darker so We’ll see how it looks then.

this turned out wonderful
in my opinion front rails and draw fronts always look better if you can machine them out of the same board so the grain pattern matches all the way across
Keep up the good work
