Base made from Western Maple burl and figured grain rescued from a  burn pile. I had to buy some Eastern Soft Maple wood to complete the top and drawer fronts along with some burl I had left. The new wood didn't match the old but I like it anyway. The raised panels are all bookmatched with figured grain. Some rosewood accents on the base.

It has a curve on the bottom that matches the pencil drawer and is affixed to the two sides using a sliding dovetail which solidly ties the two sides together. I read some of your other comments. I have had the tremendous good fortune to have met both James Krenov and Sam Maloof. James actually made a visit to my shop brought by a mutual aquaintance and I took one of Sam's chair-building seminars at the University of Washington. They were both awesome.
