Here's a cherry computer desk that I built, nothing fancy but it's functional:

499501

Mortice and tenon with dowels. I had nice fitting joints and the dowels locked things together nicely.

499502

499500

499499

And the bookcase to go with the desk. My first design in SketchUp:

499503

One of the side panels before assembly:

499504

The nearly finished bookcase and one more shot with the bookcase in it's place:

499505 499506

Nice work Dennis. Both pieces look solid and should last a very long time.

The wood, the simplicity of the design and good execution of the joinery is what makes the beauty in this project. Well done, Sir!
