Wormley Desk
-
O.K. , I admit I'm hung up on Edward Wormley stuff this week . Model of a desk attributed to him. Had to do a little guessing on measurements and construction. The pic didn't show a lot of the detail so I suppose it should be " in the style of " Edward Wormley. Twilight render image and a shaded with hidden line view.

Great render thanks for posting.

jtri , Thanks for the positive words.

As usual, a nice job, tuna.
Part of the fun of working from photographs is that you get to get to guess at the stuff that doesn't show in the photo--joinery details, of course, but also hidden structural details, such as drawer dividers and dust panels. So, if you're modeling a secretary made by a certain famous cabinetmaker, you get to be Thomas Seymour for a while. It's a nice feeling.
Best,

Thanks David. Your correct that some of the fun is figuring out the way things were probably constructed. Although that can get a little perplexing with these "designed for production" pieces. They didn't always follow traditional cabinet making methods.

Apparently, Emil-Jacques Ruhlmann was one of the worst for not following traditional cabinetmaking methods. Fine Woodworking magazine did an article many years ago about a couple of guys who were restoring some Ruhlmann pieces. They learned, to their dismay, that under the veneer was a case practically held together with ten-penny nails and baling wire. In Ruhlmann's case, it was all about the veneer.
