I like the care given to the grain matching and the way the legs are presented.

A single picture does not a gallery make; am I missing a link somewhere to more?

[Joe Tilson]

That is really nice! Congratulations!!

[Pat Barry]

Nice, congrats Brian

[Graham Haydon]

Top work, Brian! I just let my FWW sub expire, typical! as Simon says, great work on the grain match and quality.

[Frederick Skelly]

Congratulations Brian! !

I love the very tight gaps and the way the front of the piece almost looks like a single board - the whole thing is in nearly the same plane and looks nearly seamless. The grain match is perfect. And it's just so minimalist, which I love. No adornment or distractions. The wood speaks for itself. I think Krenov would have approved.

Yes! Well done. " there is no such thing as bad publicity " , but there is good reporting of superior work.

Something to be proud of, on both counts - the desk itself and the recognition! Congratulations.

Nice one Brian, Congratulations on the piece and the publication of it.

[Brian Holcombe]

Thanks, Mark!

[David Utterback]

Excellent! Excellent! Are more pictures available?

[Brian Holcombe]

Thanks David! Yes, the early posts on my blog detail the build and I have a gallery on there.

[Joe A Faulkner]

Not at all surprised Brian. I've always found your work impressive and done to a high standard. Your video on hand-cut blind dados from that build served as my primer on the subject. Something for which I am very grateful. I look forward to seeing more of your projects here and in the pages of FWW. Kudos.

[Brian Holcombe]

Thanks, Joe! Very much appreciate your comment and I’m glad to see that you found my videos helpful.

[Todd Zucker]

Really great. The details of the legs and drawers on your website photos are amazing.

[Dan Sheehan]

Beautiful work. How many hours would you say it took from start to finish? Us lesser mortals want to know.

[Brian Holcombe]

Thank you, both!

Dan, not sure exactly, but it took a lot of them! :D For the longer term projects I find it's best if I don't track hours (I charge based on my up front quotes).
