Great looking desk….nice job!

This is a real beauty. I’d love to see more photos.

Classic! I’m with Charlie….do you have additional photos to share?

Great looking design. Rift sawn white oak works very well in this style.
Thanks for posting it.

Looks great.

How was it with the glue and iron veneering? I’ve heard about it, does it go on pretty easily?

Thanks everyone. I’m afraid this was the only photo. My wife snapped it right before we loaded it up. Karson, the other pieces are a corner computer work station, which got completely away without a photo, and I’m working on a book case/printer station right now.
Kate, ironing on the veneer works great, especially if you don’t have access to a vacuum press, or veneer press.
I’ll try to post a blog sometime for the how to’s of the procedure.

Excellent work. I have seen very few applications without quartersawn oak, and your’s looks terrific. Lots of mortises. How did you do them? I have a habit of mentally disassembling furniture anytime I look at it, and I always try to figure out the joinery. Too much New Yankee Workshop, I think. I was trying to figure out how many mortises you had to cut.

Great finish on a terrific piece of furniture.

Beautiful Tim. That is a nice desk.

tenontim,
Great looking desk! Beautiful, rich warm looking finish also. I love the design as well. In fact I just had to favorite it, what with the M&T joinery. I’m curious do the drawers use metal drawer slides or are they on wooden slides? I just finished three Mission style tables with all M&T joinery as well, lots of square holes. Did you use your drll press with the Delta mortising attachment and slide vise you added? Congratulations on such a fine build.

Sincerely,
Ken McGinnis

Ken, the client wanted ball bearing guides, so that’s what they got. Normally I would use traditional wooden guides. And yes, I use the drill press for just about all of the mortising work that I do.

Thanks for the compliments, everyone.
