Townsend Knee Hole Desk

[David Turner]

After a year off for surgery and recovery, Mr. Townsend's bureau and I are again becoming familiar with one another. Working on the legs.

I like the design of the drawer fronts. It looks like a "horizontal cloud lift," for lack of a better term.

Wondering where you went Dave. Hope the surgery went well. Like your WIP posts.

Will follow with interest.

Yes, welcome back. I've always thought that desk was the most beautiful piece of furniture and always dreamed of building it.
Your desk is looking every bit as beautiful. Will be interested in more pictures too.

rcktrat: The material is mahogany. The sides, top, drawer dividers, trim are Honduran mahogany that I purchased from a widow on this website, The thicker parts are mahogany from a lawyer's office doors that Phil Soper renovated. JohnnyR also donated some of the pieces for the legs from the stiles/rails of the lawyer's office doors.
Thank You Phil and John !
