This project was for one of my favorite clients. The desk is made from recycled Ipil, Narra and Ebony. It has a total of 20 drawers and two hidden compartments. The flap has bread board ends. Two drawers are for files and the client requested locks on these two. -- George Coles, https://www.jarrahworks.com | |||||||

George, this is amazing work. Beautiful colors and love how the bread board ends come out to support the table top.. Did you design it? Curious did you put some felt on top of the bread boards to protect the table from scratches?

George,
That is a spectacular piece. I really like how you used a mixture of woods for contrast and visual interest. I have been wanting to build a slant-front desk for my daughter, but haven’t really seen anything that I like. Any chance you have plans/drawings you would be willing to share? I want to build this with US domestic woods.

beautiful work George I like the stepped backed drawers inside the desk. As well the design of the desk top stop support is very unique and quite attractive.

Beautiful piece.
Could you please provide some more information on how the “breadboard” supports work. From the pictures it doesn’t appear that there is enough “tail” in the cabinet to support the weight of the desk when the breadboards are extended.

Very nice. How did you come across the wood to recycle?
