  Other Projects
 
 
 
 
This desk was my 10th grade high school woodshop project. Quartersawn white oak, polyurethane on base and drawers, tung oil on writing surface
 
 
 
 

 
This was my senior high school wodshop project.  None of the parts were duplicated; I made each part by hand.  The plans originated from a local cabinet shop and replicate an 18th century design.  The tilt-top was essential for reflecting heat from the fireplace and also making the table fold up and fit into a small corner.  With three legs, this table will never rock.  Quartersawn black cherry tilt-top table with claw and ball feet, polyurethane and wax finish.
