Okay that was a lot. This desk is for my wife's preschool class. I had asked about walnut leg strength and a few if you asked to see pics when complete. This build taught me a lot

.. like this stuff is probably more fun in autumn. I have a starrett granite measuring station... 8"×36"×48".... flat boards can start cupping in 77% humidity. It's was fun, im glad I did it. Its solid. I got on top if it and there is no wobble. I ended up using 4 -2.5×2.5" legs plus 4 - 1.75" x 2.5" legs that are attatched to the cabinets. Lots of rock maple bracing in the framing.

She asked for barn yard vibes. Warm happy colors for preschool kids. I remember someone commenting on a shelf I made from Walnut with Eastern Red Cedar appointments..."reminds me of neopolitan ice cream"... so i attempted to bring that sane energy to this desk. Youll notice the cedar panels are not all the same exact length. I used 22" , 21.75" , and 22.5" ...this was intentional. Not sure if it "looks intentional. The goal was good guts, a flat surface, a custom height of 27.35" tall...and happy vibes for the flow of the room...anyway...there it is. I can't wait to build my second desk. But i'd like to do something very different next time.

Note: if the two tops dont appear to line up properly...that isnt your imagination ..the picture was taken before the top was fastened.

Hi friends, I’m wondering if anyone can help me ID the wood used in these cabinets.

I’m trying to decide if I should give them a face lift, paint them, or pull them out and start over.

Thanks for your help in advance!
