Walnut Writing Desk
This custom writing desk blends classic walnut with practical, modern details. A continuous brass line traces the shaped desktop and highlights the long-grain figure while keeping the surface clean and durable.
Dual drawers with walnut burl fronts and solid brass ring pulls add storage without visual bulk. Splayed legs and a stretcher base create rigidity and keep the profile light.
Construction Details
Built in our Seneca, South Carolina workshop, the desk reflects Nautilus Woodcraft’s focus on accuracy and longevity. Drawer faces are grain-matched, drawer boxes are solid hardwood, and slides are tuned for smooth travel. Edges are eased by hand and the hand-applied finish yields a protective satin sheen.
Scale and Purpose
Sized for a home office or study, the desk supports laptops and small peripherals while keeping the work area clear. Flush brass grommets provide cable pass-through and charging at the surface to reduce clutter.
