This is a desk I completed for a customer earlier this summer. It’s made from walnut plywood, walnut and spalted maple. The finish is waterbased lacquer over tung oil. I had a great time building this one. My customers are very happy with it and have asked me to build three bookcases to make a matching set. That’s what I’m working on now. Thanks for looking. All comments, criticism and opinions are welcome.

I especially like the subtle curves you have included in the top.

It is a very elegant desk. I am not at all surprised that the customer was pleased.

Beautiful desk! I love the top, and I love the curves you incorporated into the design. I’m still not sure about whether I like all the spalted maple strips, but I wouldn’t make a judgment on that without seeing it in person.

I love it. Kind of involves the rustic with the refined. Beautiful craftsmanship, artistry and originality. Matching book shelves will be awesome.

Great looking desk, Marc. Looks like you got the board stretcher out to pull the top to fit the base. I love the grains of the walnut and the maple together.

Very cool designs and colors. You have done some real knock out work with the spalted wood.

Looking great—I really like the top. A little busy on the sides for me, but I think that the piece works.
