Walnut desk

The initial inspiration for this challenging shape came from observing wood shavings on Stephen's bench. To create the piece in wood, Stephen began by making a series of foam models until he had one he felt happy with. The actual construction involved making several Japanese-style pull planes, used to shape the complex inner curves of the desk.
