Flying Desk

This desk is one I had built a few years ago and I decided it needed some TLC.
The Original desk top was glued up Then the client decided he wanted it larger in width and length, so rather than make a whole new top I decided I'd try to add a walnut band around the perimeter.
I sort of knew that the possibility of failure was great due to the fact that the expansion rates of cross grain and long grain are so different. Well I was not disapointed! This piece failed as expected. So I recently
remade the top and replaced the original. ( this picture is showing the replacement top. 

Picture
But The really cool thing about this piece is that there are no legs  under this desk. ( the post you see in this picture is actually the stair hand rail in the background.) The steel frame that is exposed is bolted to the wall and the desk floats out in space.
( one of the advantages of having a welding shop incorporated with woodworking shop).

Picture
This is the finished project. There are three drawers (two on the right and one on the opposite side of the desk) located in this apron that covers the steel frame.
The champered box under the desk is there to hide wiring etc. it's hinged to the wall and swings out of the way for easy access.

I have invested in equipment that assists me in the process of taking rough lumber and processing it to achieve high quality Professional finished pieces.
This shot shows a desk top of Cherry and Walnut being finish sanded utilizing my 37" wide belt sander .

And above are some pics of the top with the first coat of sealer applied.
    NOTE*  This is the bottom side of this piece.
Stay Tunned and you'll see who I can make this float in mid air.

    I've pretty much had my hands on wood for the most part of my Life. Started in High school, on Marthas Vineyard Mass.Worked under a Father and son Partnership that taught me the valuable foundation of what High End work really is.
    I've taken those fundimentals and put my own spin on things. Today (some 36 years ago as I write this )My shop is located in Northern New Hampshire, where I have followed my philosophy of doing high quality work and delivering more than the
    customer expects.
