RichardA 4105 Report post Posted February 2, 2015 My wife has been using a MDF computer desk that was designed for midgets [no offense to anyone with height problems], so after a few years of her knocking all sorts of things off the desk, I determined she needed a desk appropriate for her height and the way she uses it. The desk is made from White Oak, with Cherry tower case and cubbyholes, for "stuff"! This is the result. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wtnhighlander 6201 Report post Posted February 3, 2015 Nice work, Richard! I like the angle on the left side section. Was that just a visual design choice, or to make it fit a specific location in the house? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RichardA 4105 Report post Posted February 3, 2015 Nice work, Richard! I like the angle on the left side section. Was that just a visual design choice, or to make it fit a specific location in the house? The angle matches the angle of an end table, and they allow access to a narrow area.

RichardA 4105 Report post Posted February 3, 2015 No SIR ! You have a healthy lead on me...momma taught me to respect my elders ! < extremely evil grin> Note to self, watch your drinking and posting ! I'm beginning to dislike the word "sir"... But I like the words John Daniel much more since I joined this group of young'un's. You'll forget where you put that note to self, when you get thirsty.

David Turner 2 Report post Posted February 3, 2015 Very Nice, i did something similar but I re-purposed a 100 Year Old Piano that my wife got for free and was taking up space, She didnt like the fact that I started tearing it apart in the living room but she got over it once it was started to look like a desk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I can still say Starkle,starkle little twink, who the heck you are I think. Without falling down... you guys have to quit calling me sir! Deal? Hey Steve, you wanna get in on this? I live my life by three rules: 1. Don't get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her arm 2. Don't play cards with anyone named after a city 3. Don't enter a Jack Daniels drinking contest with a guy from Tennessee Follow those three rules, and the rest is cream cheese. Love the desk, Richard. Ya done good!
