This solid cherry desk fits comfortably on a lap and features an ample work surface, making drawing, writing, etc. more pleasurable to do from the convenience of, say, sitting on the couch.
Inside there are small drawers and a coved pencil tray to help keep everything organized.

Thank you, Ron. In order to hold them in place when the desk is moving around I inset rare earth magnets into the backs of each drawer, then mated them with another magnet mounted into the back. It holds them solidly in place, but still allows for easy access to the contents of the drawers.

Thank you, David. It was really a fun piece to build. I’d recommend anyone interested to give a take at one of their own.

Nice work – I made one out of pine some time ago but after looking at yours I now know that I should have gone with Cherry.
