Walnut Executive Desk, Conference Table. Bookmatched Top
This desk was designed for the CEO offices of a large IT company. It was needed for a small office used for visiting guests that need work space while they are at that location. It has a small drawer for antique writing instruments (pens) and paper. This desk was made from a single, locally cut walnut tree that was slabbed and air dried for over 8 years. The legs have natural or "live" edges with some bark remaining for a rustic appearance of actual tree limbs on a very formal and high quality piece of furniture. The top is book matched with a very unusual look that was found when the boards were re-sawn. The top has 1/4'' veneer that resembles dog 'faces'. The privacy panel is built in the trestle style and is held in place with maple pegs. The face of the panel is quarter matched; the pattern used throughout the CEO offices.

RBI Woods
I specialize in custom design and construction of furniture, office furniture, conference tables, desks, and many other solid wood items. All items are made with solid wood or plywood; no particle board or mdf is used. Many desks and office furniture is made using materials from a single tree.
I have been making custom wood products for over 40 years. Custom house cabinetry led to entry doors, to log furniture, and to office desks and conference tables, and now musical instruments. Items that I make are all "one of a kind" productions and will last to become treasured antiques.
I use modern tools and materials, but apply proven techniques for matching, laminating, assembly and overall quality.
