Bastogne Walnut Desk

By gary_johnson, member Oct 28, 2010

Bastogne Walnut desk, built from five big slabs that were locally harvested. Overall dimensions are 71 x 31 x 31 inches and it weighs about 150 pounds. Ends are coopered. Traditional tenon and dovetail carcase and hand-dovetailed drawers. Took me about 6 months. Finish is Watco then Tung Oil then wax; some spar varnish was also used on the top. See my website for a full description.

The coopered ends are great. I also really like the book-matched top. Looks brilliant.

This looks great, it has a substantial feel to it. I would like to see it with the drawers open.
