Bastogne Walnut desk, built from five big slabs that were locally harvested. Overall dimensions are 71 x 31 x 31 inches and it weighs about 150 pounds. Ends are coopered. Traditional tenon and dovetail carcase and hand-dovetailed drawers. Took me about 6 months. Finish is Watco then Tung Oil then wax; some spar varnish was also used on the top. See my website for a full description.
