About the Item

This writing desk in solid walnut was originally made as a gift for my daughter on her 13th birthday. I designed it to be elegant, simple and timeless; something that could fit seamlessly into her various homes as she moves through life. The hand-planed detail cut around the top edge of the desk adds to the delicacy of the overall design. The stretchers connecting the front and back legs are fully mortised into the legs so that the endgrain becomes a design element. The stretcher connecting the two sides below is pinned from the outside with visible through dowels that also highlight the handwork involved in making this piece. We always select striking grain for the front skirt of the desk which is also the drawer face. The drawer face steps up slightly from the skirt of the desk and has a cove cut on the bottom edge as a pull. The drawer itself is a 15” deep solid walnut dovetailed drawer mounted with euro style under mount slides. The finish is a durable low sheen spray finish so as to prevent marking from moisture but an oil and wax finish is an option.
