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 watched the video Ana posted on how to make the drawers for this table and it was so helpful. I just made it like Ana did in the video but on the long side instead of the short ends.
I love how it turned out. I used Watco dark walnut danish oil and Minwax dark wax for the finish.
