Default 2x Desk (2/2)

The finish is water based poly with TransTints Red Mahogany.

I agree on the look of legs, I had intended to taper 3 sides - leaving the
outside (front) face straight - but screwed up the 4th leg and had to cut
all four to match. Just don't tell anyone...

Nice looking piece , what kind of finish did you use ? Looks like you
have tapered the legs both inside and out, personally I prefer the inside
tapers only it gives the piece a better looking " stance"....mjh

Detail shots. The legs are fixed to the side apron, the front is anchor
bolted to the leg. The top is lag bolted down with slotted holes for
expansion. I filled all the knots in the top and sanded it smooth, but
the knots in the legs are left open (stabilized with gorilla glue).
