A present for my mum. My second box as a present. Still learning by happy with the result. Oak and Walnut, shellac finish.

Laptop Desk by Andy F
I needed a small table to work from home and used inspiration from many of Paul’s projects to design and build. Made from a beautiful oak kitchen worktop that I found being thrown away behind bins; all components cut out of the same piece by hand. Time constraints meant it is not complete, but good enough to enable me to use it. I am going to progress it with a draw, and storage box on top as per the laptop table. A real joy to make and given me a lot of pleasure – thanks Paul and team!
