Sharing my latest project: a ladder desk. It's a small workstation for my wife in my home office and the bin is for laptop/notebook storage.
Zebra wood veneer, Sapele sides, shelves and edge. I really wanted tight corners and continuous grain lines of the veneer around them, so I first veneered the inside of the box, then assembled the box using butt joints, then veneered the outside of the box.
Finished with 2 coats of Danish oil (+1 for the desk) and then 2 coats of wipe-on satin poly.
I am also attaching a very rough sketchup file. The measurements are generally correct, however I chose to do an 8 degree angle (vs 7 in the file) and the result is an extremely stable desk.
I will add a shout-out to Jay Bates - there are a lot of exact-width dado jigs out there, but I really like his design, which I used for this project (http://jayscustomcreations.com/2014/...uter-dado-jig/).
