The sides, as shown are done; The front panel is not; having a hard time finding the right ray flecked QSWO to resaw, as I cannot get good veneer…ugh. It’s a bear to re-saw QSWO, although the book matching look is wonderful. Also note that I am using an assembly technique taken from wood bed frames – see previous post.

Beautiful.That’s going to be a seriously sturdy desk. I don’t think it’s going to collapse under the weight of your iPad.

Looks great! That is a nice solid look. How did you construct the legs?
Keep up the great work.

The legs are an Ash core, with four 1/4 sawn white oak sides, about 1/2 thick each. The legs are 4” square.

Hi:
It looks like you are having Fun. How many places did you look for veneer?
Did you try. http://www.monsterwoodshop.com/
I think there are several more in the Northeast. I have to admit that finding nice QSWO in all thickness is hard for me. I have to travel at least 125 miles. Use your table saw with a thin kerf blade to start you cuts when you resaw. I found it was much easier.

Actually, the legs were made of 1/2” resawn QSWO. However, veneer is a pain to come by. Either it’s not flaky enough, too brownish, or just not pretty. Need to see it to buy it. Kinda like a wife.
