The Curve Under the Desk

A rustic walnut double-pedestal desk and a matching bookcase, both cut with the same deep curve along the bottom edge.

The Curve Under the Desk

The same curve is cut into both pieces, low down.

It is the easiest way to make a desk and a bookcase read as a pair without matching them stick for stick: repeat one line and let everything else differ. Pick the detail you will repeat before you buy the second piece. Come and see them.

Every piece is built to order in the wood and finish you choose. Visit the showroom and we will gladly price it for you.

Rustic walnut, natural

Left natural, walnut keeps the range it grew with — chocolate heartwood, pale sapwood streaks and the odd dark knot, all inside one board. A stain would even that out and lose the thing worth paying for. Ask in store for everything available.
