- Want to know more about how I built this piece? Check out my Patreon Page - / pedullastudio
This writing desk is made from Victorian Ash and uses copper leaf to accent the shadow lines.
Every component to this writing desk works closely with one another, so I've edited this video into each component, Desk Top, Legs, Rails etc, jumping back and forth showing how each part works with the next.
The legs have been designed as through legs, finishing flush with the table top exposing the quarter sawn end grain of the Victorian Ash. A small gap between the edges acts as a shadow line but also allows for seasonal movement.
Another shadow line runs along the sides and front of the writing desk, the gilded copper foil creates yet another texture. The copper colour accents the lightness of the Victorian Ash while also giving a contrasting divide between the desktop and the hand carved rails.
The texture in the rails have been hand carved, then joined onto smoothly shaped legs, providing a textural difference that’s not only appealing to the eye but also to the touch.
When creating the curved template for the top and front rail, you will notice that I use a router bit that is just over 12.5mm thick to create the top and bottom curve. At this point the top and bottom templates are at a different radius to each other due to the amount of material removed, so I replace the removed material with a piece of wood that is the same thickness as the router bit. This provides a top and bottom template with the exact same radius. Now when this curve is transferred onto the top and front rails, they both fit perfectly together.

I have been a hobbyist woodworker for years. This is NOT woodworking. This is so much more than that! This is artwork with wood. This is a level of craftsmanship that i could only dream of. Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much
Agreed, this is art!
Love how you gave it the appearance of curly wood. Awesome!!
Agree 💯
I've been a woodworking hobbyist for 25 years. I couldn't design something this nice if I had 1000 more years. Some people have the eye for design and elegance that everyone else can only dream to have. Beautiful. Truly a master crafter at their best.
With 26 years of experience, wouldn't you create something like this?Don't be ridiculous
@@vovan8544 I don't think you realise how complicated and hard this is. Man mentioned that he is just a hobbyist. He is not being ridiculous, this is one really hard project man.
THIS is how to make a video ! No annoying music. No unnecessary dialog. Excellent production camera work. And what a beautiful workshop and tools. A woodworkers wet dream.
Thank you
I hate what CZcams has done to most woodworking content. This guy does it right
My goodness the moment when you drop the top in. That fit! Chef’s kiss.
That moment where the table top met the legs is just blissful. It's perfection. Some of the best woodworking I've ever seen on CZcams.
Absolutely stunning. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and for all the hours that went into the design of that desk alone.
I am speechless about how precise and how beautiful this writing table is, your choice of music and your camera work is second to none, thank you for your fabulous videos!
Everything is just right here, as always. The concept as well as the execution. Well done, Simply sensational.
Wow!
Those freehand scallops must be shimmering in the light! It's like sculpture.
Thanks for the video!
This is by far some of the most beautiful wood working I have ever seen
Watching you from minute one to the finish, is just breath taking. Job well done mate.
For the great work you do, your shop is the best setup imaginable.
A pleasure yet again to watch you at work.
I can’t imagine how much time and effort has carved just an impressive skill set. Bravo.
Having both the vision and then the ability and skill to put it together is amazing.
Gotta love the trim router flush trim on the MDF. It's the smell of victory
That carving that looks like figuring is incredible!
Ten stolik to dzieło sztuki. Jest wspaniały.
You aren’t a woodworker, you are a Artist.
Just love the piece’s you conceived, amazing! 👍👍
Immaculate shop,attention to detail, precision cutting, and next level craftsmanship. The end result is just stunning.
One of the nicer pieces of furniture I've ever seen!
Mesmerized by the skill and execution. I learned a few tricks from your video. Thank you for sharing. Inspirational!
Потрясающая работа! Вы не столяр, а настоящий художник!!!
how could anyone not help but love watchin this guy pull all this great stuff off
I've watched this video several times. Your ability to shape the wood from different angles is absolutely mind-blowing. It's on a next level and I love watching your process because it helps me see how you think. Your work helps me out with my channel. Thanks for putting your content out there for us to see.
Thanks so much for the kind words
WOW. Breathtaking. It's not woodworking, it's poetry from capital P.
I love the look of copper. I didn't know it was available as leaf!
Excelente trabalho! Não é apenas uma escrivaninha (writing desk), é uma obra de arte. Parabéns!!!
Great design, and love that slow pan on the sped up chisel work
I am new to this channel and new to woodworking. I’ve been watching a lot of woodworkers and seeing everyone’s different techniques. This man here is the best I’ve have seen yet. The craftsmanship is second to none. Beautiful!
First timer here...and I am speechless. This work is stunning! It's 9 PM here - yet I would like to just go out to my workshop to test a couple of tricks I've just saw :) Thanks!
Happy to have your videos back!
Stunning artistry. Elegant lines and contrast of grain in the finish. The copper inlays just adds to the overall esthetic.
Thank you
This is absolutely stunning. Incredible design and execution.

In his performance, the Master Craftsman, demonstrated new skills. He emphasized handling & safety measures. Thanks
Just watching one video has given me lots of ideas. I know I can do most of it with much less expensive tools.
Subscribed.
You're an amazing artist! Please post more videos of your work- you must leave a mark.
Absolutely incredible, as always! See you working is always an absolute pleasure. Congrats!
Thank you very much!
I AM TRULY BLOWN AWAY BY YOUR WORKMANSHIP. I just wish that there was a commentary over the video describing the processes and the result you are working towards. You are a master of your craft and I feel that a voice-over would help those of us who are learning to understand the how and the why of what you are doing. Again, thanks for the master class.
Absolutely stunning. Everything. Amazing.
When you put that top on…CLEAN!👌🏼
I love the texture detail on the sides… the slight curves also bring out a lot of character. Very well and precisely made! Keep up the great work and thanks for the exceptionally good content!
I absolutely love your designs and wood artistry. Your work what furniture making should be: elegant, rich, beautiful joinery, and a product that will be admired throughout generations of ownership. You are not taking a slab of wood, pouring gallons of plastic into it and bolting on some steel legs, no you are creating a masterpiece.
loving how the workshop is spotless at the start, almost clinical :-)
Great to come across an Aussie doing such awesome work
Unbelievable! Beautiful piece of work.
I build loads of tables (never two alike) and am always looking for new ideas and inspiration. Your incorporation of a curve where the top meets the skirt rail is brilliant. I hope you won’t mind if I lift that concept for one of my designs. I believe this is the first of your videos I’ve watched. I’m now a subscriber. I am intrigued by the sequence of your cuts, which took a fair amount of confidence that your subsequent cuts would meet your expectations of precision. Very impressive.
What a magnificent piece of work.
Wow, beautiful job. Thanks for showing us the process!
Thanks Scott! Love your work mate!
@@pedullastudio cheers 🙂
It’s nice to see someone that knows how to set the guard on a bandsaw. Soooo many folks come so close to cutting their fingers off by leaving the blade exposed.
it is not everyone around the globe who owns a shop packed full of nice machines. you made it!
Good machines with a good craftsman...
Fantastic job, Mr. Pedulla. This is the first time I see the nice appearance of that copper foil on wood. Amazing combination with the natural color of the Victorian ash.
Thank you! Cheers!
Breathtaking. Stunning. Prodigious.
Starts with such a dramatic intro like he's about to save the world, then wanders into the shop looking like "aahh geesh, is it the weekend yet"!?! ............ just giving to a hard time!! Love that glue up table system you've got.
Stunning work. I watch your work and I can't wrap my head around the fact that people are capable of being this creative and able to think and plan that far ahead for everything to line up perfectly. Nice job!
Thank you so much
Truly beautiful design, and I learn so much watching your fabrication and assembly process.
Thank you very much!
By far the most incredible piece of furniture I've ever seen being made on CZcams. Absolutely perfect.
Thank you
Master. Great design and a subtle sense of taste. It's nice to watch.
Più che un artigiano un vero artista del legno. Complimenti.
Stunning work, as ever. Your workshop is incredible. I think your panel saw would almost fill mine. A pleasure to watch.
Thank you very much!
That is gorgeous. You sir are very talented… and I am totally jealous of your table saw. 🤤
Wonderful working !
Another beautiful piece Nick, thank you for sharing your craft with us.
Thank you for watching!
16:00 that top just fell in beautifully. Dang man, skillz to pay the bills.😎🤙👏
If I had all that equipment I STILL couldn't do what you just did. Simply beautiful work. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.
Thank you
I worked this trade for over 50 years, people don’t realize the amount of thought and physical work that goes into designing and making pieces of furniture, very nice work, and a beautiful shop❤️
The real beauty reside in this simple curve. love it!
Thanks
Incredibly amazing table. Also high quality building technics. Compliments
Amazing! Thanks for sharing your process, incredible work
I have always looked forward to your work and am never disappointed. Many thanks for sharing your outstanding work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice workshop, good set of tools, Incredible attention to details, fine timber and.......... above all...........beautiful design.........good on you, young man......good on you.
This is just stunning job. So plain and simple but complex and beautiful. What an magnificent piece of art.
Thank you so much
absolutely stunning! always love seeing you build stuff with such ease
Thank you
Truly amazing watching a artist work, that's what you are, a brilliant artist. 🙏👌👏👍
Incredible... Most talented piece of woodworking I've ever seen!
Thanks so much
Gorgeous piece of fine art, museum quality.
Beautiful table, such an elegant design, Vic Ash is such a beautiful timber, I love the way you cut the joined timbers for the legs, such a smart way to hide the joins, 👌👍
I was thinking it is Vic Ash too, but I was also thinking, ‘No, it can’t be an Australian.’
That is a very fine piece of furniture. Beautiful work and the new owners will be lucky.
As a hobbyist woodworker and photographer, I must say - DO NOT underestimate the huge bonus effect that the light, shadow and dark background adds to this perfect artwork with wood (for the last minute of this video)! Imagine what you would see if it were placed in a messy workshop under a daylight globe.. : ) Thanks for making this video. It gives us way more than demonstrating how to make a wooden table.
I follow you since your first video and I must say, this is something beautiful. Every part of this table has so many details. Keep up the good job and thank you very much for this video!
Thanks so much
Stunning, pure craftsmanship.
Thanks
The Dremel was next level... didn't even look like you had adequate lighting to make it that perfect!
Beautiful piece of craftsmanship
I follow it with great interest.The fact that it is really different and useful also inspires me.Thank you.
Thanks for watching
Você é um artista! Que peça maravilhosa! Estou impressionada! Parabéns!

One of my favourite channels. Stunning work.
Thank you so much
Such a clean wood workshop. Wow. Well laid out. It's like being in a dream
Thanks
You're an absolute master. What a joy to watch.
Thanks for watching !
There can't be a finer woodworker than this gentleman. I'm a hobby turner and furniture maker and have learned so much from these videos but I will never reach his level of expertise.
Well made film and table. I appreciated of your work, especially for slight curved line on the table.
OMG!! What a beautiful piece! You are a true artisan. And your videos are very tastefully done.
Thank you very much!
What an extraordinary project whit a subtle mix of materials and curves. Impressive.
This project blow my mind
Thank you so much
Mate. I learnt more about jigs for legs in that one video than all the others combined on CZcams. Awesome workflow and beautiful desk.
Glad it was helpful!
Beautifully done, thanks for showing us.
My pleasure
