well, long time no blog ... 3 weeks at least ... lots going on here at the end of summer, or should i say the beginning of fall. i turned the heat on in the shop when i left today. some in the area had a frost on their windshield this morning. the light is changing, and the foliage is beautiful. life is good. particularly since we installed this built in cherry desk this afternoon. chris has been working on it for a few weeks now, and im glad to see it in place in its new home.
click the photos to enlarge them ...
we started with a drawing and then moved on to the full size mockup below
it is in a bedroom, and the space, while not exactly tight, wanted to not be confining. hard to tell that on paper so we built the mdf and notched luan mockup, which the clients actually used while we worked on the desk.
great sun .. great view out the windows ...
the construction was a mix of table joinery and case joinery ...
drawers everywhere .. 10 in total, and chris got a real dovetail workout.
ash boxes with cherry ply bottoms ...
more photos tomorrow when the installation is complete ...
its a short drive, but a beauty of a drive ..
