Double-Trestle Desk
Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006This desk features one drawer, two pullout trays, hand-carved drawer pulls, breadboard ends (to allow for seasonal wood movement), over fifty mortise-and-tenon joints, and sixty-four individually-shaped and polished Texas Ebony pegs. There is also plenty of leg room on both sides of the desk, making it perfect for those long meetings.
As with all my pieces, this desk can be made to perfectly suit the user. The height of the desktop, in particular, can be adjusted before construction to maximize both comfort and function.
Dimensions: 74″ L x 32″ W x 29″ H
Materials: Solid Black Cherry with Texas Ebony and Maple
Finish: Three Coats of Hand-Rubbed Oil, Three Coats of Paste Wax
