This Alder desk was my last high school woodworking project ever. It was very much fun. I built everything old style: all mortise and tennon and dovetail dado, with no nails whatsoever. It will be going in my dads office for a large computer desk. To give a scale, the top is 71” X 40”. Im gonna miss high school woodshop though for sure..

Louis,
Great job! It’s great to see someone your age with the passion and talent to build such a project. Keep up the great work and we look forward to many more of your projects in the future. I’m sure your Dad is really proud to have your desk in his office.
