This is my american black walnut and english yew bureau. The design is a modern take on a classic theme - it is suitable for a computer with screen, keyboard etc in the top part and tower below in the cupboard. Turned solid walnut holes allow cables to pass through from the inside work surface to the tower cupboard and behind to be plugged in.
After you finish working you can simply close the elliptical yew paneled fall and you are left with a beautiful piece of handmade solid wood furniture. The rich colours, dramatic figuring and the exquisite (even if I do say so myself!) craftsmanship make this piece a joy to look at and use.
Seen here at the 'Furnish2' exhibition at Paintworks, Bristol.
All the drawers have traditional dovetails front and back. With quarter sawn english oak linings and walnut slips.
Solid yew turned cable tidy disc thing.
