pecan desk

[alex grams]

A little pet project of mine I have been working on a little at a time in between other projects that I finally finished. Made with one of the last slabs of a pecan tree I milled up a few years ago, then I got some pecky pecan veneer for the panels. I liked the star handles I used on a mesquite desk I made recently, so thought I would take it a little further on this desk and make a center front panel with a veneer sunburst and a star inlay out of ebony/zebrawood. I like to refer to it as the 'lone star' desk, being the state tree and with the star accents. I also made this a little longer than the standard 60" desk. This is around 68" long, which should afford a lot of working area.

I also picked up some slabs of a HUGE pecan tree I milled up last year from the kiln. These should be fun!

Nice work. The use of the grain is stunning.

[Marshall Harrison]

Nice job. That desktop is beautiful.

[Charlie Jones]

Wow. That is beautiful. I like the star.

Wonderful Desk!

..Very attractive desk, alex. The way you glued up the centre panel is striking.

[Mel Fulks]

Love the Big Bang as background for the Texas Star. Beautiful hyperbole!

[Jim Becker]

Alex...your work is truly incredible!

[Robert Maloney]

Beautiful desk. I like the veneer work in the panel. Nice design.

[Von Bickley]

Great looking desk.... I really like that star.

[Frederick Skelly]

Nice work! Definitely looks like you made it for a Texan with that big star! Are you keeping her or selling her?

Frederick, I will probably list it, but may use it. I still have a 90$ ikea desk I use, but this project was more to use the slab up and do some veneer practice. I may list it high, and if it sells it sells, and if not, I will keep and use it longer. I did get a few commissions of other desks based off this though, so its already paying some dividends.
