Started with Norms plans,had to change a little so computer monitor would fit.i used 1/4 sawn white oak with a red mahogany stain and finished with a wipe on poly.a few mistakes but turned out pretty good .So I’m happy. Everything is solid oak except drawers which i made from plywood.

Outstanding! Looks great and I know it took a lot of work—all of which you can be very proud to have accomplished.

Looks great! I can appreciate how much work is in that desk, I built one when I was 15. Looks like your’s was well worth the time you invested in it. Heavy I bet. Does it come apart easily to move it?

That looks great Bill, how did you do the roll top tambour door? Canvas backed method, or the tambour door router bits?
