Functional Hints For Buying A Custom Designed Handmade Desk
A handmade desk adds both a function and a unique aesthetic to any space in your home or workplace. Craftsmen who specialize in studio furniture, or one-of-a-kind or limited production furniture, are skilled at choosing the wood for each project to highlight both the character of the wood and the function and style of the piece of furniture.
Whether a craftsman is building a traditional cherry or walnut secretary or a modern mahogany stand up writing desk, he will often use a combination of traditional joinery and modern furniture making techniques in its creation.
First and foremost, a fine quality desk is both beautiful and ergonomic in its design. Not only should the desk be pleasing to the eye, but the design should also reflect the intention for its use. For example, a secretary tends to be ornate in design, has many drawers and cubbyholes to store desk items, but might make a poor computer desk. A more modern flattop desk is more likely to comfortably hold either a desktop computer or a laptop.
A skilled craftsman will design a handmade desk with great consideration to how its owner will use it. A flattop desk should realistically be able to house a computer, as well as other work materials without overtaking the desktop entirely.
Many flattop desks have bookshelves mounted against the wall, which should also be able to contain a reasonable number of books or lend itself to various functions. No matter what style desk you are interested in, a fine craftsman will ensure that it is beautiful and useful at the same time. Like any other piece of furniture you put in your home or office, a fine desk should be practical to use and pleasing to the eye.
In addition to designing a one-of-a-kind desk with logical dimensions, a craftsman should always strive to bring out the natural elegance and beauty of the wood he is working with. Even a layperson without any background in fine furniture building can appreciate the vibrancy of the color of the wood, the elegant swirls of the grain of the wood, and the texture of its surface.
Regardless of the style of desk, a finely made handcrafted desk should start from the best materials. Mahogany is a favorite among craftsmen for its versatility and density, which allows artisans to easily match up the grain of each piece of wood. Maple, cherry and walnut woods are also excellent choices to work with, as hand rubbed natural oils easily accentuate the natural beauty and character of the wood.
When you are considering investing in a high quality handmade desk, ask yourself if you value the design or style over its practical function, or whether you value the practical function over its design or style. A traditional secretary desk, for example, is notably elegant in design and reveals its "secretarial" organizational components when opened. A shaker flattop desk, on the other hand, is appreciated for its simple design and supple space to spread out on. Talking about styles and functions with a craftsman will help you two determine the best design for your style and needs.
Unlike factory-made furniture, craftsmen of studio furniture focus on designing and building one piece of furniture at a time. The artisan begins by handpicking the pieces of wood that will work best with the style and type of furniture he is making. Next, he will treat the wood, apply high-grade veneers, and skillfully prepare the components in accordance with the pattern. All the while, the craftsman will constantly look for opportunities to accentuate the swirls of the grain so that the end product is distinctly unique, even if the style is ordinary.
Because of the level of care and detail that is put into handcrafted studio furniture, you will rarely find a piece that looks "cookie cutter." Craftsmen typically guarantee their work so that you can be sure your investment in a fine handmade desk becomes an heirloom for years to come.

How much is my solid oak desk worth?
I have a solid oak executive style desk in excellent condition. Original cost was $1300.00. How much should I expect to get out of it from a second hand buyer?
if it's got something special about it, 800.... I'd start there and be willing to bargain down to five hundred.....
