This is an arched reception desk with filing drawers that I finally wrapped up. Would've looked great with a nice finish.

Hi Bullhart,

I agree that is is a shame that people want to paint timber. A good finish will always give character and ambience to a piece.

What kind of wood/material is it made of?

I can't see any grain...

If it's MDF, shouldn't it be painted? (if it is, that is) :blink: :no:

Looks like you did a very nice / good job!! Really COOL!

 

[BULLHART]

I blame the no visible grain in the phone camera. The desk and draws are mostly birch ply. The fluted casing is poplar, the only mdf is the baseboard. I used these materials because I knew from the get go that it was going to get slathered in paint.

Thanks foryour kind words

Greatjob would look good any finish, myself would use dark oak or mahogany stain.
