Cylinder-Top Desk
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Dave Benetello
Benetello based this cylinder-top desk (21 in. deep by 34 in. wide by 47 in. tall) on one in Thomas Sheraton’s The Cabinet Maker and Upholsterer’s Drawing Book. The mahogany case is joined with hidden mitered dovetails. The veneered lid and writing surface are connected with a ball bearing/strap mechanism so the lid opens as the writing surface is pulled out. Other woods are Brazilian rosewood, Macassar ebony, holly, black-dyed costello, and pine. The finish is shellac and wax. Photos: Lance Patterson From Fine Woodworking #205
