S08E06 Chestnut Desk

Discovered in a private collection nestled in wine country, this beautifully understated desk features a generous writing surface, a central pencil drawer, and elegantly crafted legs. While the original was crafted from pine, Norm opts for a more durable chestnut to enhance the desk's functionality as a writing surface. Reflecting the simplicity and charm of classic American antiques—and fine wines—this versatile piece can effortlessly serve as a dining table as well.
