more Oak, progress so far
After building the cutlery insert I have been busy building the 'computer' desk. This is to match some furniture already in the room. It is intended for a laptop but with a slide out tray for a keyboard and the insides for storage. there will be four adjustable shelves each side and the drawers for smaller items. I now have a finish to put on it and make four knobs. I am in the process of shooting in the doors at the moment. Finish will be a clear wax.
Never enough hours in the day!

Re: more Oak, progress so far
Well at last it is finished. (I hate waxing) I have spent the last couple of days making the knobs and putting the finish on it. I realised how rusty I was at turning as it has been so long since I had done any. Here it is all complete.
Here with all of the shelves installed.
I had some green baize left over from the cutlery tray so used this for the bottom of the drawers.
This was the cutlery tray now it's finished.

I just got back from delivering this and took some shots of it in place.
Customer was happy with it and said he will recommend me. Never enough hours in the day!

Always a pleasure see the work that you produce
