The Air Ministry Desk || Mid Century Desk Build

The "Air Ministry Desk" - solid oak desk, designed around the mid century style of the desks used in the Air Ministry during the 1930s & 40s in the UK. The clients wanted a classic look, utlising tapered legs, paired with a continuous grain front apron & drawer fronts - traditional joinery was used for visible parts, including solid oak drawers with rebate & groove joinery, but the legs & aprons were joined with dominoes (loose mortise & tenon). The oak coved handles were also custom made.
I'm a custom furniture maker based in North Wales working from my self-built workshop set above the Afon Ceirw (Deer River in English).
