Here is a quarter sawn oak computer desk I built for my wife Carol. It took 84 mortise and tenons and a lot of fun!

Great project. From the front it reminds me of an arts and crafts library table. Great color. Thanks for posting.

My wife has been dropping “hints” the last couple of days since I finished her desk. She thinks a matching cabinet with a couple of doors, shelves and drawers would really be nice to have near her new desk.
That realllyy put a grin on my chin bedause I look forward to each project in my shop like a kid in a candy store!

Time to sharpen the chisels, clean the shop, order some more QS oak and start designing the cabinet.
