How To Make A Modern Desk

I had so much fun building this beautiful ambrosia maple modern desk. I’ve been wanting to replace the ugly plastic folding table I’ve used as a desk for the last few months. I love ambrosia maple so much because of its grain and imperfections. This style of desk is perfect for a home office or even for home school uses as a kids desk. I used dowel joinery for this project but you could use pocket hole joinery if you are not comfortable using dowels. This is a really easy DIY desk most anyone can build with some simple tools. Check out the full resolution pictures and the build video below.
