computer desk project

kept right on planing today. the boards for the top and the monitor stand turned out quite a bit better than i expected. lots of ray flaking, and good grain, but there is figuring as well.

got the legs trued up, cut the mortises and tenons, and did a test fit. plopped the top on it for the fun of it. another one out of the way, except for sanding and finishing.

Is it too late to put a taper on the legs? It'd look a bit less 'blocky' with a small taper on two sides of the legs.

But that's just my opinion...
 
changed her mind again. wanted the straight edges! good thing i hadn't gotten to cutting the curves. oh well, it is now in place, and awaiting finishing next year.
