    Cherry desk and bookcase

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

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

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

    One of the side panels before assembly:

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

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

    Very nice! Simple and attractive.

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