The New Computer Desk


I have posted a couple of photographs of this oak desk when I was building it, and then a photograph of it after it was varnished.  Today I installed it in a corner of the new back room.  It is fastened to the wall on two sides with aluminum angle so it appears to be suspended in space. The three coats of  marine spar varnish have such a glossy finish that the desktop looks wet all the time. It is such a beautiful addition to the addition.

Primo: Thanks for your comments. As usual I over-engineered it. I think I used enough hardware so that you could drive a car across the desk with no problem! :-)

This really does look beautiful and great that you have a custom fit for your new room and no table legs to get in the way.

The color is perfect with the new floor and your chair. I like the idea of no table legs. What a handy guy!! Enjoy the finished desk. bsk
