Work in progress

I'm scheduled to do a SketchUp presentation at a Mini Maker Faire in Westport, Ct., at the end of April. At last year's Faire, I showed how to model a Fender Stratocaster guitar. This year I want to play it safe. I'm planning to model a couple of Mission furniture pieces. Here's one, taken from plans in "Mission Furniture: How to Build It," first published at the turn of the 20th century. I first modeled it a couple of years ago, and just redid it to see if I could improve the modeling. I think that all I have to do is add hinges and the hardware to hold the slant front in place.
Let me know what you think, and what nits you can pick with the model.
Thanks,

E-mail coming with nits picked.

I like that one.

Thanks, Michael. The piece was termed a "lady's desk" in the old book. But I don't think that label would work these days.
Best,

It was probably called that because of its simple non-ornate style.
