Any long term subscriber of Fine Woodworking will recognize this piece Lonnie Bird wrote a few years back. Made out of walnut with red oak as the secondary wood, this piece stands as my crowning achievement. The drawers faces were all ripped from one piece of curly walnut and veneered onto a front drawer substrate. The two front door panels as well as the desk lid were also ripped from one piece of 1 3/4" thick piece of walnut.
