Be gentle, friends. This is my first-ever video. It was challenging to summarize 15 hours of labor in 7 minutes of video.
Without further ado:

Curly Cherry Desk Top Build
I just finished a fun project and thought I’d give a brief narrative of the construction process. The client wanted a new desk-top that would sit atop an iron base (client provided the base). He wanted the desk-top made from a single, natural-edged slab, with highly figured wood. If I couldn’t find that, then he wanted the 3 foot X 5 foot desktop made of no more than two, book-matched boards.
Mesquite Executive Desk Build, Part 3 (Final)
Well, the desk is finished. Delivered last week, photographed (thanks, Christy!), shop purged and cleaned. Definitely bitter-sweet, as I am now done with something that occupied hundreds of hours of my life. So, are you going to jump to the bottom to see the final pictures? Or are you going to dutifully stick with the narrative and not read ahead? Choose your own adventure, my friends.
Back to the narrative… Boxes are now out of the clamps, so it’s time to make drawer dividers.
