Arts & Crafts desk

[davidheim1]

Just finished a model of a fall-front desk designed by Harvey Ellis, an associate of Gustav Stickley whose designs lightened up Stickley's heavy, square furniture.
I built the model from drawings in an issue of Fine Woodworking magazine from 1982. Too bad the magazine didn't produce a decent measured drawing; I had to extrapolate several key dimensions, and I probably don't have the hinge pins on the front aligned with the holes in the sides.
Let me know what you think.
Best,
dh

P.S.: Dave R, you're sure to find some Easter eggs here.

Nice. I like the rose medallions.

Nice as always. Thanks for sharing.

I like it but... the shelves are shown as 1/8 thick...the dust around here would deflect them.

Michael,
I know what you mean about thin shelves and dust. But the original had 1/8" shelves. Maybe the owners could afford cleaning help.
Best.
