Ripple Sycamore Desk

Nice desk. I’m thinking of making one for my office, and I wanted it to look something like this. Would be interested in seeing the work in progress pics.

Lots of interesting features here. I especially like the rounded drawers and the leg details. I have not seen ripple sycamore before – very nice!

I really love this piece. Great workmanship!

I wish you hadn’t posted this. I had a 65 ft. sycamore cut down and hauled away!!!!! Not sure if it was like what you have. This was before I started woodworking.

I’ve not tried sycamore yet but hope to find a deal on some someday. I thought the walnut drawer bottoms were a nice touch.

Amazing wood. Great work

Very beautiful wood. I especially like the legs. The taper gives the appearance of a very strong table, but the curved cutout near the skirt adds a lot of style. Awesome woodworking.

-- I've never seen a tree that I wouldn't like to repurpose into a project. I love the smell of wood in the morning - it smells like victory.

Thanks for the positive comments ;D

Wow that’s some beautiful wood you have there. I’m really impressed with your design and attention to detail… that makes all the difference! I’m gonna have to try a leg treatment like that… thanks for sharing.
