Modern Mission Desk #1
I challenged myself to design a modern mission style desk. The contrast between the two styles is quite stark - though they do share some similarities. The drawer pulls are hammered copper, and sunk into cutouts in the drawer, as contrasted to being attached through the drawer front by a screw. All cherry and ebonized cherry. 6′ 4″ long by 32″ at the deepest. The top is 30″ high, and has 25″ of leg clearance.

Feb 17, 2013Working with Patrick at New Mission Workshop has been an amazing experience! Patrick is so creative and such a delight to work with. He has kept in constant communication with us which we have appreciated so very much, making suggestions, tweaking the original plan, and offering wonderful suggestions for improving the pieces he's done for us. He is a Master Woodworker. I'm already thinking up future projects for him to craft for us!!1

Nov 15, 2015It was extremely easy to work with Patrick on this project. He was open to the custom changes I needed (made out of cherry, and fit to hold a violin rather than a ukelele), and the final product was fantastic. It did take a bit longer than I initially hoped, but Patrick was up front with the time line and the final piece arrived at my door faster than initially estimated. The stand was well packaged and in great shape. It is a beautiful piece of work, and I am thrilled with the final result. It is my first time using the CustomMade website, and I will definitely try it out again.

Dec 5, 2018I just received the candlestick holders. They are just what I expected. Excellent quality and nicely finished. Mr. Ashley communicated promptly through the process. They came well packaged and protected. These will be a beautiful addition to my Stickley dining room set and bring years of service. Thanks Patrick!

Oct 20, 2013Working with Patrick was a first-rate experience. The final product was exactly what we spoke about. His 3D renderings of the complex mission desk are a picture-perfect match to the desk he created. I'm 400 miles from his shop so our only communication was via email and phone conversations. His response time was excellent and he was always open to slight changes throughout the project. I'd recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a craftsman to deliver what you ask of him. No regrets.

Oct 30, 2012I'm enormously pleased with my New Mission Workshop cabinet. Patrick kept me updated throughout the project and offered a number of options for fittings and finish. The cabinet arrived well-packaged an in perfect condition. I'm excited about my new piece and looking forward to my next commission with Patrick. He has terrific design and construction skills and impeccable taste.
