I recently completed this desk for a client and as I built it I was able to journal the build on my Daily Blog from my web site www.charlesneilwoodworking.com

DUppstrom DUppstrom writes: A beautiful piece, but I wish I could get ideas on the hingeing geometry, since I'm having a bear of a time getting a similar project to come out correctly without a gap in the open, extended drop leaf and ALSO along the bottom edge with the drop leaf closed. Anyone have any ideas for me?
