Base made from Western Maple burl and figured grain rescued from a burn pile. I had to buy some Eastern Soft Maple wood to complete the top and drawer fronts along with some burl I had left. The new wood didn’t match the old but I like it anyway. The raised panels are all bookmatched with figured grain. Some rosewood accents on the base.

How about the modesty panel? Nice work!
glstexas, thanks for your comment, yes there is a modesty panel, it just doesn't show in the photos. It has a curve on the bottom that matches the pencil drawer and is affixed to the two sides using a sliding dovetail which solidly ties the two sides together. I read some of your other comments. I have had the tremendous good fortune to have met both James Krenov and Sam Maloof. James actually made a visit to my shop brought by a mutual aquaintance and I took one of Sam's chair-building seminars at the University of Washington. They were both awesome.
Awesome job. This would go well with the countertop in my office. How do you plan to protect the top, glass, other? Was the pattern your own design? I assume it disassembles easily for moving. How big is the top? Let's get some more pictures when you're finished.
awesome job! the inlays are great, what process do you use, router, ny hand what?
