Ann has been asking for a desk for over a year, and I’ve been designing it in my head for about that long too. A while back I had her sit down with me on pinterest to see what types of images she tended to like. See below for some of what she picked, but the TLDR version is a mix of Frank Lloyd Wright, and Arts and Crafts style. I love both, but both are really challenging… Curvy inlays??? I’m sure I can figure that out, but this may end up being her wedding gift because it’s going to take me that long to figure it out.
She also chose a really interesting mix of wood. She liked the combo of the polka-dots of the Leopard wood, and the lighter colored Ash.
This weekend I finally got started on it. Most of the rough milling is done, but I didn’t estimate correctly for the inner parts of the desk and panels, so I’m going to need to get more wood.
Below are Ann’s inspiration pics she chose.
