Finished desk in Elm
I just finished this desk in Elm for a friend. I bought the wood in Italy, it has a wonderful color and grain. Since the boards were 8cm thick (more than 3 inches), it took me a lot of work to resaw and bring to thickness.
It is composed of a table, and a chest of drawers. The table top has 2 parts joined at a right angle with a miter, reinforced with butterfly keys.
The chest has 4 drawers of progressive heights, assembled with dovetails.
The back of the chest and the drawer bottoms are cedar.
