Sapele wood from DR Congo ~ custom desk

Character tells the story of the wood, and this beautiful Sapele traveled from the Democratic Republic of Congo to become a hand crafted custom desk.  Each fleck of warm red grain reflected the trees life bringing life to this custom designed desk for owner John. IMG_0001 John was inspired by Hawaiian Koa wood and traditional craftsman style furniture. He wanted a spacious desk in his home office but needed to accommodate an existing window.

Custom veneer panels match the grain across the four file drawers. The solid top includes a hinge to allow access to the existing window while maximizing work area.  Milled from solid lumber, craft joinery, finished and installed with care by Henry.
