Well you requested it in off topic so I shall comply for you. This is a desk that a friend of mine is helping to build as he wants to learn about cabinet making and wood working. It's built from cedar that his brother had cut on a sawmill. He wanted it very simple with plain glued up sides but told him I didn't feel like dealing with expansion and contraction issues so he agreed to the raised panel ends. I even used sliding dovetails for the upper part. This was my first time trying this type of joint and the pc dovetail jig worked perfect for this. This is also the first project that I used a router to cut dado's for the dividers that are going up top and to make a rabbit for the back.
