desk assembly

I have started to assemble the white oak writer's desk and now have the drawer made and leg assemblies at both ends glued. I've yet to make a stretcher that will run across the width to stiffen the legs.

A bit of epoxy filler improves the appearance of the half-blind dovetails cut in the drawer fronts. A trial assembly will allow final measurements for the stretcher to be made. 

There is a similarity between the Norwegian words tilgivelse meaning forgiveness and tillatelse meaning permission. Both offer a path forward.

Forgiveness for a woodworker gives one permission to move forward and discover new things. The pathway opens.

Make, fix and create...
