This desk evokes subtle images of the bold face of a Native American. The desk is solidly supported by a coopered panel at one end and a single leg at the other. The single leg pierces the surface of the desk protruding into the space above the desk challenging the traditional sense of “desk”. The Oregon Walnut top has two book matched panels sequentially from the same tree. There is a single drawer that can be mounted to face either side of the desk. The desk could also be built with the single leg piercing but terminating at the surface of the desk
