Pair of Davenport desks for notepad
One is cherry and the other walnut.
My wife wanted a small but functional desk for our downsized retirement home. Having seen an antique Davenport or Captain’s Desk she asked me to design one that would be functional for a home office. The desk was widened to accomadate a standard chair. The drawers were graduated in size allowing the bottom drawer on left side to hold file folders. Footprint about 25×25 inches and standard desk height.

One is cherry and the other walnut.
-
Inside are three small drawers and the depth is sufficient to store a notepad or laptop
-
Front view shows the turnings for the gallery, turned legs and feet as well as the leather top.
-
Drawers on both sides with one file drawer on left
-
The back is finished so the desk may be placed anywhere in the room and not necessarily require wall space.

What a cool idea! Looks great and quite functional. Lots of baby boomers may be interested.
Very impressive. In this day and age when the older crowd is downsizing but still into today's technology this desk is very appropos
Those are among the most beautiful pieces I've ever seen. They are so good they nearly make me want to give up woodworking because I know I'll never reach that level. Your wife is very fortunate indeed. Just incredible. Congratulations on a couple of fine pieces.
Very, very nice. You should be proud. Where did you get the gold tooled leather? Why don't you publish the plans.
