Most woodworkers have an unfinished project (or several) sitting about the shop waiting patiently as they get pushed down the priority queue for other things. Mine in this case is a small “ladies desk” I started several years ago. Here is the state it was left in when I set it aside:
I dragged this out not long after I scooped up the walnut stash I posted about earlier. One reason this was left in the corner is the walnut I did have was buried under a stack of other stuff and I was too lazy to dig it out . I got the drawers for the stand built:
I also got the lid supports and writing surface fabbed up. They will get final install when I get the back in place, then I can cut them to final dimensions and get the stops installed:
I was able to find a piece to serve as the lid that was sufficiently wide and flat. The board is there to prop it into place:
Still a lot to do with the gallery. More dividers to install and build the 7 drawers for the bottom two rows, plus put the beading around the drawer fronts for the stand. Then all that sanding
