This desk is a metamorphic piece of furniture that changes from being a table to becoming a chair and writing desk.  The majority of the desk is constructed from various types of plywood with oak veneer covering it.  To create the body, I drew out an oval to the necessary size and used it as a template to cut arcs of plywood matching the desired shape.  I then cut upright pieces of plywood that were sandwiched between two of the arcs of plywood. This create a rib cage that I was able to glue and screw into the legs.  Once the frame was skinned with bendy-ply, I used red oak veneer to cover the plywood.  I then cut more strips of bendy-ply and veneer to create the trim.  Bendy-ply and veneer was also added on the inside of the chair portion to build up the back rest.  The tabletop is solid red oak that was biscuited together, cut into an oval, and then cut in half and hinged.  To upholster the seat, I created a pattern for the base of the seat, then cut it out of plywood and used upholstery foam and batting to create the cushion.  the back rest cushion is just batting with fabric stretched over it.  It's held in with staples, and a chain of faux upholstery tacks was used as an aesthetic accent.  The desk is finished with stain and glossy polyurethane.
