Hi All,
I'm new to this, and i'm setting up my workshop now. My first project will be a writing desk for my kids.
I'm thinking i will use a hardwood (maybe Oak). I want to stain/wax/varnish it, but not paint it.
So, i'm thinking ahead about the basic structure and design: I'm thinking I want to make a frame, with profiled edges (traditional rail and style type frame), with a flat panel in the middle (i.e. oak faced ply). But, i want the back of the frame to be flat, so that I can attach drawers.
The desk will be drawers on one side - so three frames in total.
Does that make sense?
Can I have a profiled frame on the outer side, and a flat surface on the inside?
Thanks!
I'm new to this, I'm researching furiously, but until i get there please forgive mistakes in terminology etc
Sammy
