Working on new Art Déco desk
Working on new Art Déco desk
May 12, 2010I have almost finished this desk for a customer, this time in oak. I chose to do hidden miter dovetails instead of biscuits. It requires more work, but I know for sure it will never open. The glue-up should be interesting.
The panel under the drawers is assembled with sliding dovetails at the front and back. Only the one at the front is glued, to allow for seasonal expansion of the top.
