Gothic Cathedral Desk
Mar 29, 2013
Woodworker: Monica Raymond
Gothic cathedrals inspired this arched desk, which Raymond made during the Nine-Month Comprehensive Program at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Maine. She says the Gothic arches are the most obvious connection, but the aprons also suggest the flying buttresses common to the cathedrals. The arches and stretchers are bent-laminations and the top is veneered and inlaid with holly. The desk (23 in. deep by 33 in. wide by 37 in. tall) is made of maple, walnut, and holly. The finish is lacquer.
