We recently purchased a foreclosure on thirty-five acres and have been diligently rehabbing the property. (That's why the picture shows missing wall trim and unsealed floors!) We needed a desk in order to reclaim our dining table so I decided to build this one. I love how it turned out and it is perfect for our needs.

Finish Used
I used a jacobean and cherry color mix. (We're trying to use items we have on hand.) I wanted a dark color since our house colors are very light. I then used bees wax for the top and buffed it off.
