Slant-Front Desk
This beautiful slant-front desk can add a little class to your office space. It provides a large work surface and lots of storage too.
Wood movement is a real concern with projects that feature solid wood panels. That's because as solid wood expands and contracts with seasonal changes in humidity, joints can pop and boards may warp or split. With this desk, sliding dovetail joints allow the wide, solid wood side panels to move independently of the frames that hold the panels together. It's a traditional technique that will keep the panels flat for generations. Ogee bracket feet complete the case and raise it off the ground. We've included separate instructions on how to make them easily with a table saw and band saw. All the visible parts of this desk are solid, 3/4"-thick black cherry. We've also included plans for a pigeonhole unit which features vertical dividers, drawers, and an easy-to-build hidden compartment.
