A Student Desk from the 1930s

Morning practice. This is based on a student desk by Robert "Mouseman" Thompson. Made in England in the 1930s of oak it was designed to seat three students on each side. There were only three of these desks ever built. Detailing including the signature mouse and joinery still to do.
As with anything you might do in the shop, practice is the way you get better at drawing with SketchUp. I like to pick out an unusual piece of furniture and try to draw it. For those of you using SketchUp, I would highly recommend drawing something on a regular basis. You'll gain more familiarity with the program and develop hand-eye coordination and muscle memory for handling the mouse and navigating the model space.
