Cherry desk, finally done

This is really nice! Your finish is amazing, nice touch with the base board allowing the the legs to go all the way down. This is one to be proud of.

Fantastic work. I really like the legs. Your customer loves it I am sure.

Wow. I like the design and the execution looks to be flawless. Nice job.

What did you use to finish? Very nice color and I was planning a shelf with the same kind of curve..

Very nice!

For projects like these I took it to a finisher since it had to match the cabinets next to it exactly. I think he used pre-catalyzed lacquer mixed with some stain to make a toner. I now there are several coats of a couple different colors. But that is why I stick to carpentry because finishing is a whole separate skill all by itself.

That fits into the space very nicely… well done!

Do the feet basically stop at the carpet, or did you cut a square out of the carpet and take them all the way to the floor/subfloor?

The continuous grain across the top and elsewhere really adds class. It’s classy already, but that’s a nice added touch.

Very well done. Look really good.

Beautiful piece – really unique compared to a standard desk that would otherwise fill that space.

It looks beautiful. Your customers should be calling your to build something else for sure.
