Simple, clean, beautiful. That was the goal with this desk. There are many underlying decisions a furniture maker has to make in the build process. Even on a simple desk. Matching boards together for a cohesive top, material selection for the legs and shelves, determining which joints to use to allow for expansion and contraction. If you look across the front apron of this desk you'll see a continuous piece of walnut with only a 1/8" reveal telling the writer there is a drawer to be used for storage. The final shape of a piece is only small part of a successful build and that is why I take the time to think through each part of the build before I start.
