For my wife's 50th birthday in 2007 I made her a seven drawer roll top desk from quarter sawn red oak.  All of the dove tails were hand cut.  Sides are soft maple.  Plan was adapted from a purchased set of plans, but the dovetails were my own idea.  The project accounted for about 700 hours I classified as "therapy".
