Woodworking Family Life Style: secretary

Shes a looker alright!

The hardware is ANTIQUE with protectors on the inside of the drawers.

A metal cap fits over the post and nut to protect the drawer contents.

But I hope you didnt think I found her this way, you know me better then that.

I built the upper portion for this simple maple secretary using two discarded cabinet doors,

and some lumber from a kitchen table I recent stole the legs from.

It is secured with metal rods on the back side and can be unscrewed to separate.

She has a larger then average pull down at 16" deep,

thats why I chose this piece to work with.

The pink is a blend of pure white and emperors silk ASCP and waxed with minwax natural.

Everything displays great against the soft pink,

and its a fun color to have peeking through the glass doors.

Little secretary chest

I have been super busy lately! So much going on! But, I did manage to get his one finished before everything started. I have just been too busy to post it! I picked up this solid maple chest with a pull down secretary. I mixed my own cp for the outside and used CeCe Caldwell's "Slate" for the inside.
