    Default Sassafras Study Desk

    This is the newest addition to my woodworking collection.
    Its a Study Desk for myself made out of Tas oak (for the base) And a Sassafras with myrtle edge for the top.
    Also with two dovetailed draw.

    Feedback and questions much appreciated.

    Cheers Toby.

    Great work there Toby! I'm a sucker for anything with Blackheart Sassy in it...

    The myrtle edging suits the sassy aswell, so does the Tassie Oak. WHat joins did you use on the rails to the legs?

    Edit: I just saw in your Domino post that you are going to ASFF, and have completed some other projects there already. Good luck with your wood working, and please post some other pics up here.

    Cheers,
    Nathan.

    thanks Nathan Black Heart Sas is my favourite timber.

    the joins are mortice and tennon joints (because i don't have a domino of course) hope to soon though but it was still good practice doing it the hard way.

    and thanks i hope the ASFF goes well i am looking forward to it immensely.

    Cheers Toby.

    I love the work. It looks beautiful and will make it a pleasure to study!

    P.S keep doing your joints the hard way. Domino is good, but nothing beats the hard way. Congratulations

    Personally, I would find it VERY difficult to study at that desk. No papers, books or anything else would ever be allowed on its surface.........

    Stunning work that suits a stunning piece of timber!

    Cheers
