His and hers desks AND vanities.. How quaint..

Nice work, eh.. What's the details on the wood used on each?

[Leo Graywacz]

The desk is made from Solid Birch for the doors, drawer fronts, face frames and front edge of the desktop. The other visible surfaces are 3/4" A1 Birch plywood. The drawers are made from 9 ply 5/8" Euro Maple. I didn't have some smaller pcs of Birch ply for the keyboard drawers so I used Maple. Got the same color, but the grain is muted. I have two types of drawer slides in the desk. The file drawers ride on Accuride heavy duty file slides and the regular drawers ride on Blum Blumotion slides. The drawers are made using a small rabbet and pocket screws.

The vanity is made from Soft Maple and painted with MLC Resistant (Ben Moore White Dove) and then clear coated with MLC Krystal. Both finishes are a conversion varnish. All the drawers ride on Blum Blumotion slides except for the center upper, it is a Accuride 8" slide. The drawers are made from the same 9 ply but these drawers are dovetailed.

Great looking work. Very elegant without being overdone. I like the crown tying-in detail on the desk. That alone shows the level of skill put into the whole, as if the rest isn't saying it clearly.
