Oak desk

Post by mailee »

I got this finished the other day. My customer had seen a similar one I built and asked for this with provision for files in the two bottom drawers. He also wanted it transportable so the top and upper drawers are separate from the pedestals. It is made in AWO with a 2 pac clear finish. Drawer runners are all soft close.

If you don't mind me asking how much would that piece cost roughly?

thanks guys. Well Webster I did enjoy making this, love working with solid woods. The two bottom drawer fronts were joined with the Domino and reinforced with two strips set into the back vertically.
Steviejoiner, the cost of this was around £1000 as the handles were pretty expensive and the customers choice.
