Here are some crappy pics of our latest job. It's a 17' 3" desk that is installed behind a sound console in a stage where they re-record the sound for movies. Sorry about the picture quality, but these stages are not well lit and the flash just makes them worse.
This is where the director and producers sit when the film dub is in progress. This room rents out for about $3K per hour, and people from all over the world come here to dub their movies.
This desk was our first project using cherry, solid, shop cut veneer, and ply. I can see why so many people like this wood, it was a pleasure to use, and looks really great. The job went pretty smooth until they gave us some last minute changes, making it a bit of a pain to finish.
Speaking of finish; we used aniline dye for color, alcohol shellac to lock the dye in, WB shellac to further seal and give some more color, WB gloss lacquer to build the film thickness, then satin lacquer. Over all about 15 coats of finish of some sort.
In the front the raised pannels are actually locking sliding doors that cover 11" adjustable shelves. The open space on the end without the drawers is for rack mounted equipment.
The kid in the picture is my son and partner in this crime.
I'll be happy to answer any questions, and thanks for looking.
