Since we moved and I turned my storage room into an office, it was time to make a new desk! Also, I’ve been saving several 1″ thick boards of teak for a few years, waiting for just the right project. I intentionally painted my office white and grey to have a good plain base to work on, so this furniture needed some warmth, and teak is one of the most beautiful woods!Like my old desk, I wanted it to sit in a corner but this time be more minimal. I wanted dedicated risers for my monitor and audio monitors. Technically, it’s an extremely simple build that includes some woodworking and metalworking but I LOVE the final result.
