The drawers are only on one side. After more research I found that Davenport desks usually had drawers on one side and a door or fake door on the other. I decided to make the door on this one working. I drilled a hole in the top and bottom of the door and the frame and inserted a pin so the doors are fully working and yet you can't see any hinges. I love this technique and I'm sure I'll use it again soon. Also the drawers are a bit better but still not quite what I'm hoping for.
Quite a few pictures.... I couldn't resist :D
And this is the first try I made a few weeks ago. I think the second one is better.
I also made another small cabriole leg table. Both of these are going to Brasil for a swap.
My new workspace.... I decided to move outside since we finally have nice weather. It's just great sitting on the terrace/balcony and creating minis!
Well this way a very productive week for me. I finished all the books too, including the bat books. Now I need to make decent photos and list the books on Etsy. And then on to new mini adventures, hehehehe.
Until next time!
*Poof*
It is a very beautiful and special furniture. A very beautiful work.

Thank you Wyrna! It was a lot of work making it but also a lot of fun :)
Deletewow! you made that?! The Davenport desks are amazing! Hannah
ReplyDeleteThanks Hannah! And yes, I did make them. I still sometimes don't believe it myself, hahaha
DeleteEs una magnífica pieza! Adoro su mesa
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo
Gracias! :)
DeleteI loved your first desk and then you went and added a side door space!! I love this one even more. I could soo see this in a shop keepers corner or a young student using it to study by candle light.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny :) I like this one better too, it looks more realistic with a door on one side rather than 2 sides of drawers.
DeleteThe desk looks great. I really like you addition of the working door. I wish it was as sunny here....your work area looks great.
ReplyDeleteThanks :D Yes, it's heavenly being able to work outside in the nice weather!
DeleteYou know you might need to ..sell those desks ..umm *wink*
ReplyDeleteYour a fine wood worker hon!
Hmmm... These still need a bit more practice I think :) Or maybe I'm just being too harsh on myself :P
