Bill, this is a great example of simple, clean lines well executed looking beautiful together! Well done Sir!
Eye catching Bill! The smooth arches going up the legs to the front rail contrast beautifully with the rectilinear elements.
Beautiful Stickley-inspired desk, Bill. ..Not so simple, as getting such pleasing proportions is not a science.
I'm sure your son is appreciative and impressed and will be more and more so as the years go by. I love the color. Beautiful work.
Very nice Bill. What are the dimensions of the top?
Lining up the ray direction on the legs and the arches is a really nice touch. Nicely done.
Love that look! Well done sir.
thanks for the kind words. It started as a drop front desk, and as I was milling some of the parts I began to know that a drop front desk just wasn't "him" ya know? So, as usual, I just started making it with no particular plan other than the ht and the top dimensions (24 x 34). And I got lucky in finding the ray pattern for the legs and the arches in the front. I really like the look of that - ray patterns chasing each other, kinda.
Nicely executed, Bill!
Very nice Bill. I like it. You can ship it to me!
Very well done.
Nicely done, sir. Very clean, crisp lines. I really like the contrast of the through tenon on the stretcher/foot rail.
Nice lines with all the pieces. Thanks for sharing!
You nailed it again Bill. Did you use that new mortiser? Beautiful piece!

@Lee - sorry Lee, lost your address.
@Richard - wasn't sure if the thru mortise would work, but it adds just a little somethin to it.
@Marty - Thanks Marty. And yes that Baleigh mortiser works like a champ. The x-y table is a dream to use: smooth and steady. I'm in the middle of a billiard chair build with about 60 mortises. Bring em on - the more the merrier!
