I modified the Small Old English Style Farmhouse Dining Table plan to build a writing desk. I used five 1x6 boards for the top for a width of 27.5 inches. I made my desk 56 inches in length. I put the drawer on the long side like a pencil drawer. I did use the legs that Ana recommended in the plan. I love how it turned out. I used dark walnut danish oil and dark wax for the finish.

Thank you! I used Watco Danish oil and I used Minwax dark wax. I've tried alot of different wax brands and I always come back to Minwax. It dries the hardest in my opinion.
