Honduran mahogany desk
Paul got the construction details of this blockfront kneehole desk from Construction of American Furniture Treasures by Lester Morgan (Dover Publications, 1975). Among the many details that challenged him during the build were the hand-cut drawer dovetails, the connection of top to base with parallel sliding dovetails, and the stile-and-rail construction of the mahogany back.
