52" tall, 47-3/4" wide and 24-1/4" deep.

Arts and Crafts Desk
Fine Woodworking Project Plan

This project provides a fast and strong method for building a table with drawers. The secret is frames that go over and under the drawers and are attached to pre-assembled ends. The best boards go on top and are glued up first. Then you simply assemble the ends, attach the frames and shelf, and install drawer glides. You'll find detailed instructions on the table end glue-up, the shelf and drawer assembly, and the installation of drawer blocking and glides.

Curved-Front Desk
Fine Woodworking Project Plan

This desk has curves aplenty: the front, legs, top edge – even the drawers. Joinery on curved parts is challenging, but with Chris Gochnour’s method, joinery is cut while the parts are straight and shaped later, and he has a neat trick for cutting dovetails, too.

Arts & Crafts Desk and Wall Cabinet
Fine Woodworking Project Plan

Styled after a well-known English Arts & Crafts manufacturer’s work, this desk incorporates the signature square, flared feet and curved front aprons of the Harris Lebus firm. The wall mounted gallery is a perfect complement, incorporating Lebus’s signature crown, with its dramatic bevels and exaggerated overhangs. The curved front apron is created with a mix of hand and power tools; the joinery for the desk includes mortise-and-tenon and dovetails. The wall-hung cabinet construction is basic, with routed through-dovetails at the corners and stopped dadoes housing the vertical dividers. An elegant dragonfly inlay enhances the doors.
