90% of what I do is custom builds, but sometimes I get a wild hair to make an idea I have, or when I am making a project for someone that is cool, I make a duplicate, that way I can cut total material costs and labor. I have 4 desks I have made over the last year that are extra I am looking to sell:
Made with one of the last slabs of a pecan tree I milled up a few years ago, then I got some pecky pecan veneer for the panels. I had some star handles I used on a mesquite desk I made recently, so thought I would take it a little further on this desk and make a center front panel with a veneer sunburst and a star inlay out of ebony/zebrawood. I like to refer to it as the 'lone star' desk, being the state tree and with the star accents. I also made this a little longer than the standard 60" desk. This is around 68" long, which should afford a lot of working area.
$1900
The second is an ash burl desk with a live edge curly ash slab top:
$2000
I got to have some fun with this one by doing a hidden compartment. This has s a full length drawer that you pull open. There is a mechanism you release to allow you to open the hidden drawer on this one. If you don't release it and pull on either handle it will open the full drawer. Yes I used extra veneer from the desk as the drawer bottom.
The next two are similar in overall style, but done with some different materials and methods.
This is a claro walnut desk, with a bookmatched top. I bought 4 boards of sequence cut claro walnut, used two to cut the veneers for the panels, then the other 2 for the top. the black frame is pecan wood finished in a black lacquer. $2500 SOLD
The last is probably the coolest desk I think I have done (at least I think). The panels are made from end grain mesquite I cut from some trees, dried, then cut them like flagstone tiles and filled the gaps with black epoxy for a kind of funky look. The top is a bookmatched mesquite set. The pics don't show them yet, but the desk has the same handles as the claro panel desk. $2600.
I am in Fort Worth, but down to Houston often and can deliver for a nominal price if I have to make a dedicated delivery trip (basically anywhere within about 3-4 hours of D/FW). feel free to PM me or email at grams woodworks at gmail dot com.
