Desk is completed

Thar she blows! A completed desk of curly maple frames and curly cherry panels. 

This piece has taken some time to get through my shop, in part due to some health issues I have but also because the nature of this piece has dictated careful work at slow intervals. When I look at the piece I see lots of subtle Phil details, the most obvious is the leg design. Its got a 45 degree angle that puts it at the corner and makes the sculptural shape add a strength to the over all piece, a taper, a switch of a shape top to bottom, its got more there that a quick glance can see yet the quick glance does see a balance and strength. The cherry is so dynamic its only going to get richer and darker and more beautiful in the years to come.. The drawers have quarter sawn sycamore interiors which is a taditional lumber to use for stability and beauty.

Time to write a letter! Cheers!
