Heidi's Desk

That is a real beauty!!

-- Matt Garcia Wannabe Period Furniture Maker, Houston TX

What a nice job. I too love to salvage wood and give it new life. This desk will also stand the test of time I am sure and what a great gift to family.

What an absolutely beautiful piece, and a great history to go with it!

Trevor,
Very nice work with a history too. I call it heritage wood. It has a story to tell. Heidi will cherish it, I’m sure.

Love the tenons on the apron and stringers and the trim around the drawer sets it apart.

That old oak is incredible, look at that color! Great job Trevor.

-- Thomas - There is no such thing as a problem, there only are solutions.

Beautiful woodgrain and a very, very nice job on the desk. Recycling is very satisfying and it gives you a good story to pass along with the desk.

Great table Trevor & what a save on the wood. Well done.

Really good looking table. Not sure why but mellow is the word that comes to mind, as in pleasantly agreeable. Must be the colors and the slight curves combined with the banding accents. I think the top might actually look better with the lighter inlay than an ebony one would’ve. Gives it a less strict feel than two dark stripes on top.
I also like how you cut the drawer front right from the board. Attention to detail like this always adds to the professional look and tends to impress. Hopefully your daughter-in-law liked it at least as much as I do.

Thankyou Peter yes she loved it (Thankfully)
