Thanks Leslee, I have finished it with early American stain and 3 coats of polyurethane

 What a beautiful desk, Roger.  Your wife will surely enjoy it. What kind of finish you are going to use on it, Roger?  Make sure you protect it well so it could withstand years of wear.  What a great piece of work.

Wow what can I that would be so rewarding in your excellent woodworking skills. What color are you staining it or is it cleared already

Hello Maury, yes it is full Tabor, I purchased the individual pieces from Rockler and cut them to length. They are put together with steel cables instead of the burlap on the back. As for finishing that was the hardest part it is Early American stain with there coats of polyurethane

Very Nice piece of furniture. Two questions. 1) Is the Roll Top a full tambour and how did you mill the individual pieces. 2) How did you finish it? I have wanted to make one for some time are the plans available on line?

Enjoyed your work, great job.  I spent a year build a 7 drawer desk out of mill work oak and I have been enjoying it for years now.  Your work is rewarded.
