Dashing pile 'o wood

Nothing gets a project going like a good wood score! This mahogany will be used for the tops, drawer fronts and panels of the desk, paired with ash lumber for the legs and stretchers, these species will create a cool contrast between light and dark, warmth and strength, structure and surface. My original design has tapered drawer banks, custom pulls and a "Tori gate" detail that is the extension of the rear legs through the top and capped with a sweeping piece, see sketch.
