Stop Stressing about Wood Movement | Building a Modern Desk
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video, I show how to build a modern desk. I made this modern desk using walnut for the legs, a spalted maple desktop, and Blum soft-close drawer slides. The desktop was made using two slabs of spalted maple attached to the carcass with dados. This is the perfect DIY desk project for any woodworking enthusiast.
A lot of thought went into the design of this modern desk and how the desk would sit in an open space or butted up against a wall. With more people working from home offices, a custom desk is in pretty high demand. This piece is unique enough that it's sure to be a talking point in anyone's home office, but it still fills the need for function from the user.
This project's build process includes many steps, but I tried to be as thorough as possible in the video to explain each one. I enjoyed trying some new techniques in this build that boosted my confidence for other projects moving forward. New skills and techniques are what make better craftsmen (or women). If you want plans for this woodworking project, check out the link below. And if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them in the comments. Enjoy the build video!

@@TimberBiscuitWoodworksand thank you for making these! woodworking has always interested me! I was so suprised the first time that you showed how to put the connecting pegs in! I guess I never really thought about how the different wood pieces fit together.

Excellent word. Did you have to do anything to stabilize the spalted maple, or you didn't have any spots that were a bit punky?

Thank you! I did have a few spots near the ends of the slab but I just trimmed those off.

@Timber Biscuit Woodworks thanks. I'm doing something similar not near as elaborate for my wife and going to try using the penetrating epoxy to solidify a few areas. Thanks for the response
