Season 2, Episode 4: Arts and Crafts Library Desk

Select Source

True to the arts and crafts style, this sturdy and functional desk is made from quarter-sawn white oak. The solid oak top is created by grain matching and edge-gluing stock to form a surface that is 42 inches long by 24 inches wide. The oak frame for the drawers features wooden runners, and the trestle base is joined with mortise and integral tenon joinery. The three oak-faced plywood drawers are constructed with half-lap joinery.
