Had 3 planks IN the shop....decided to trim them down to size... Cut the bad, Barky board down a bit..from both ends.. Which left.. This much "good" wood...not keeping the barky stuff.. Set this aside, for a moment...the other 2 planks had some spalting going on...cross cut to get the most..and set the rest aside.. All 3 now needed the rip fence set up...to dress up both edges....The 2 plain jane sections also were edged.. Along with a few scraps from the last Project.. So, MAYBE a Lap Desk in there, somewhere? Have a parts list of pieces to choose from...depends on how fancy to make the lid/writing surface... Well, it IS a start....just that amount of milling..and the toes started to cramp up...while I am on Laundry Detail, this evening... Stay tuned..

From the album: Lap Desk
A look inside, showing off the curly grain on the lid. Dividers seperate the inside. Back area can be for books. There are spaces for pens/pencils in the front. Plywood bottom is Oak. Sits in 1/4"x1/4" grooves all the way around. -

Can also be a Kitchen Office. Hand cut dovetails in the front corners, simple rebate glue joint in back. Lid has a few large knots, decided to "feature" them. Back edge has a live edge, and Walnut plugs cover the five scews that hold the non-folding part of the lid still. Four coats of oil finish...so far.
