C'mon, give me all the juicy details — write them down, draw them, keep them in a journal or send them in a letter. The intention behind this curvy pear writing desk is to create a space and surface for you to sit and put lines on paper — an act of healing: reconnecting your mind & hands. Our ever-increasing dependence on typing and texting often overshadows writing by hand. A handmade writing desk invites us to write again in our own unique script, an innately human gesture.
Curves speak a similar language to handwriting, as it is difficult to create the exact same curve twice. The process of constructing a veneered pear wood table top with curved captured edgebands, curved skirt members made by bent lamination and sawn curved legs has been challenging and oh-so rewarding. I give a nod to Krenov and his Italian walnut writing table for inspiration and guidance in "The Impractical Cabinetmaker" and a few more nods to Ejler, Laura and Jim (teachers at The Krenov School) for help along the way.
P.S. Apple products are not compatible with pear ;-)
