This Walnut Sculpted Desk was designed specifically for two of my favourite clients. The main request was to have an elegant minimalist desk but with a sculptural element.
As always I provided a number of designs for my clients and they decided to go ahead with the design outlined by the miniature model I showed at the beginning of this video.
The model is to scale and helped to not only visualise the design but also helped in the construction of the desk as I could reference the curves and angles of the rails.
As always thank you so much for your support here on TH-cam. The fact that you even watch my videos means I can continue to make more unique builds and share them with you. And if you haven’t already, please consider subscribing as this will help my videos to get pushed out to more and more people.
Now you hear me talk about Patreon a lot. It’s actually the main way that I can financially support this channel and continue to provide free videos here on TH-cam. If you’re still not sure about it, then you can watch this short video which will outline all the extra content you can gain exclusive access too. / about

A big thanks to all of you for the support!
Amazing work as always. Thanks for the inspiration
Up until 31 minutes ago I was feeling pretty good about my woodworking abilities, But now, FORGET IT! LOL Can you please consider us mere mortals and stop having us consider taking our own lives. LOLOLOL! I think in order to keep my honor, I take my life In the Japanese way....Sepuku! ROFLMAO!!
Again my friend, thank you for sharing you"re brilliant, creative functional art. As I was enjoying this build, the word that kept coming up was WOW!
hey my friend, what about having the "Live Edge" look on the legs of one of your deigns? And no, I don't know how it would be done but , give it a try? Just a thought.
Thank you @@BiggMo
Which mask are you using? Trying to buy the right respirator at the moment and yours looks like a great option 0:46
As a professional film maker and a hobbyist woodworker I would have thought you had a background in video production. Your woodworking is truly inspiring, but it’s the quality of your videos that keeps me coming back to your channel. Thanks for all the great content.
Thanks so much
Absolutely. The video work spot on.
I agree with @@royunderwood7514 . These videos are amazing...the ending of this one a burst of all that is good.
Thanks for letting me send my audition tape in! My agent says this could be my big break...although, I think he was referring to Shopcat Jerry 😜. Seriously mate, another incredible piece of furniture that is full of creative design, intention, form and function.
I love your work as well Keith! I truly enjoy you and Mothmans podcast too!
@@Mikkelsuper21Thanks very much, Mikkel!
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking you aren't such a slouch yourself man.
Mate, you've both got the job! Next stop, Hollywood! Thanks for being part of the video Keith (and Jerry)
I clicked the 69th like. Nice!
Telling people to shout out their own channels in the comments speaks volumes to your character. Fan for life.
Thank you
Every one of your pieces is a sculpture in my mind. Always inspiring work! ❤
Thanks so much man!
Wow, you blow my mind! You’re a brilliant designer and maker. I get very excited every time you post a video and never want them to end. Best woodworker on TH-cam.
Thanks so much
Your photo of the underside of your desk says a lot. I’ve been to many shows featuring “fine” furniture over more decades than I care to remember. I’m “that guy”that gets down on the floor and looks up to see what’s “inside”. Its mostly to get ideas “for how things were done”. It’s amazing how much different the fit and finish of what shows versus what’s hidden that there is in many “fine” pieces. I appreciate the care you took with the work shown in that shot.
You're the one woodworker I always watch your new videos on my TV because they deserve to be seen on my giant, beautiful OLED. I'm always blown away by your beautiful work mate, it's remarkable and while I do woodwork myself, I can't even comprehend your talent, it leaves me speechless. Thanks for sharing, wish I could be part of the patreon, I'd love to see all your other amazing videos. Thanks for continuing to raise the bar in the woodworking world. ❤
Thank so much!
I love the way he casually works with huge chunks of gorgeous walnut. The budget just for wood on this build must be huge.
The beauty and grace of form brought a tear to my eye. Kinda like watching a master performance of a piano concerto; not many ever possess the drive and talent to do it right.
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 Bravo
Thank you
I make stuff, just not for TH-cam. Beautiful work. The leg design sort of reminds me of an antler. Very organic and stunning. Love your passion for creating unique pieces
Thanks
Do you have another YT channel? Could you share the name of it please?
Ooh a pedulla video ... switching to full-screen mode
Watching your 30 minute video just feels like 5 minute..this is not woodworking...this is ART....you are incredible artist...
Сколько стоит орех. ?Никогда не видела что бы продавали его древесину. Теперь понятна откуда такая фактура. Интересно на нем вырезают или он твердый как дуб?
As a hobbyist woodworker, I almost want to give up when I see the level you're at! Simply amazing.
...but isn't it awesome to see just what might be possible if you had 30 years to devote to that one thing? Or at least inspiring enough to get you to learn something that's new to you?
I make stuff, I just started recording videos in my small workshop and I realized how difficult it is to shoot videos and do something. So thank you for your work.
That’s really really awesome 👏🏻
It’s kind of a sculpture about the life cycle of wood. Looking from the sculptured side it’s got an organic flow of a tree growing out the ground and morphing into a desk. Looking forward to the next project 👍🏻
Thank you
This is gorgeous. I love how it takes normal office type furniture and somehow makes it organic. Your videos are like meditation to me. Nice work.
I MAKE STUFF!! you are an inspiration &I respect your skills&mixture of art with craftsmanship. I have educational videos as well as builds being a 3rd generation arborist for over 30years ,owned a sawmill for a few years&have been building furniture for some time now(part time for many yrs but have been focusing more as u get older) thank you for sharing wisdom&art with all of us.
-Chris
Thank you
I am absolutely mesmerized by how your mind works with these extraordinary pieces of furniture. I could seriously watch your videos over and over again and still learn more at every step! Thank You for your hard work and dedication to your craft and also allowing us to see inside your world of furniture!!! Mike!
Great video Nick! I love your attention to detail. It really shows when you're attaching the top using wooden clips that are perfectly made even though they will never been seen.
Thank you
2:40 for those new to design, don’t mistake room specific applications as a limitation. This is actually a huge advantage in design because now you can focus the appearance of your elements to look amazing from a fewer viewpoints.
As wood workers, we are subconsciously Accustom to designing our work to be viewed from all sides and any angle - which is the real limitation
I used to make stuff but life got in the way. Another beautiful build sir. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Even the mounting buttons look sculpted! 🤯 Your level of detail and design is inspiring - thank you for sharing as always.
Just pure display of creativity and no unnecessary yapping makes your video an absolute joy to watch!
I Make Stuff - me and my wife are just starting a woodworking channel. We had the idea to fill our recently renovated house with fine furniture that we make ourselves and want to provide plans so others can build alongside us. The idea has gotten derailed lately after the first of our first kid, so we've been making a few more 'kids products' than we planned, but we have a few pieces in mind that we'll hopefully getting started on soon.
Your channel is a great inspiration to us, such amazing designs and craftsmanship. Also, making us a little more keen to pack up our tools and move over to OZ.
Awesome Work!
I just watched your video on building a floating desk. Well done! Your wife is a natural. I'm an Aussie, so yes, you should move here 😊. And I subscribed.
I don't make stuff for TH-cam. But I always like to do something around the house. A few months ago I saw your workbench video and it inspired me to make my own furniture for the house. since then, 2 chests of drawers and a bed for my daughter are in the process. you are an incredible master!!!
Thats Amazing!
I ~am going~ to make stuff! I invested in tools a few weeks ago and will start learning and making stuff this year :D
Awesome
@@pedullastudio you are a great inspiration for me. Keep up the amazing videos. I'm loving them :) I have zero experience with wood working, but I'm confident I will learn and make beautiful furniture. I will share when I have got something to show. (mind that this most likely will be in > 12 months ;))
DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT
I love your work, it’s always so beautiful. I really appreciate that you are continuing to make client projects and are producing your videos around those projects. A lot of TH-cam makers stop doing commissioned projects and become “content creators” while making things for themselves which I feel takes away from the final project because when we make something for ourselves we are willing to accept something that is less than what it might have been. There are three levels of craftsmanship, in my view, the lowest being what we make for ourselves, the second being a commissioned piece, and the ultimate (but most rare) is something we build as an unexpected gift for a loved one. (Your new bench was made for a loved one; yourself, your shop and your craft.) Thank you for continuing to make things on commission and striving for art and beauty.
Thanks so much
I make stuff and your channel is one of the inspirations that lead me to starting mine. Love the desk, the process, and the video!
Agreed, he was also a big inspiration for me. I love his work.
Ive seen your videos before. You do great work!
@@pedullastudio that's awesome, thanks for taking the time to reply and to watch a video of mine. Hearing this from you means a lot to me!
This marriage of utility and art, presentation of process, and exquisite video editing is why I keep coming back and then sharing your videos. Even seeing the model, watching the entire build, and listening to your explanation doesn't demonstrate the complexity of the sculptural portion. The shots at the end made my jaw drop! Absolutely marvelous.
Thanks so much
1. You are an artist, period!
2. How in the world can you work in such a dimly lit shop?
The coolest things in the world come from dimly light spaces.
I’ve noticed that also! Assuming he sets the mood just for the shots. It’s quite the vibe
Interesting sculptures always live off of the play of light and shadow. If your shop lighting/home lighting doesn't allow for shadows you will not build for/experience the entire effect of the sculpture.
@@Rosewood401 That's an interesting thought. Well done. I do tend to agree.
@@ReapZ13739 months later… children? 😂
This channel never fails to deliver the highest level of woodworking content. Keep it up man.
I make stuff.
Really enjoy your work, Nick, and always inspired after watching your latest. Thanks for sharing your knowledge so generously.
Definitely check out this one. Hi Cameron!
Awesome videos man!
For your young years you have Mastery at your fingertips. Inspiration without technique- know-how- lacks something. The execution is perfect; it's all there: grain, colour, harmony and balance. One of the finest woodworking channels I have watched, and I 've seen a few in my time.
Superlative, there is no other word.
Greetings from France 🇫🇷
I make stuff, and just start new project on TH-cam. I'm 56 years old and got interested in woodworking just 5 years ago. And there are already certain successful projects.
Your work is beautiful! Your videos are inspiring! I like this style and I try to shoot my videos in the same style.
Many wish they could knock-out their work on a inspirational desk like yours.
The precision geometry produces the flowing symmetry that is no accident. I am equally impressed with the simplicity of the tabletop jointery at 29:50. A threaded insert in a domino and a screw.
I will also employ your plate glass alignment technique for critical glue-ups.
Thank you for sharing and expanding your woodworking knowledge.
I make stuff :) I actually have a couple woodworking projects in the works. Things I wanted to document via video since I have a terrible tendency to forget what I've made and let the low self esteem morph into apathy.
Your videos are so inspiring. You take woodworking to the next level of possiblity and I'm so here for it
Keep up the great work!
That’s one heck of a sculpt for such a nimble looking structure.
13:09 is a great message to keep an open mind, also there is something to learn in every field that you can apply to yours.
Great work, and as for "some peoplr wont like how I do this" as a fabricator I see perfect sense in using the grinder / sander / carver to sort the shape out
Nick!!! These are the types of videos that get me absolutely fired up to get back in the shop and create something unique. Thank you for sharing your incredible work!!!
Great to hear!
I'm 20 now and I've been learning about furniture making since I was 16. Whenever I watch your videos and learn new techniques, I feel like I haven't learned a single lesson in those 4 years. And the way you talk gives a different energy to go deeper into the woodwork.
Hoping to learn more from you
Woodworking is one of those things where you can never stop learning. Thats the amazing thing about it! Keep it up
I am a huge fan of your work. You pour in just the right amount of everything; simplicity, complexity, art, glamour and experience. And you do the same thing with your videos as well. Your talking makes the process more understandable and not distract like many other youtubers do. Great job man!!
Ho Man - You're a real artist !!! Not only the desk itself is a masterpiece but your video grabbing and postprod are also masterpieces generating so much fascination while viewing ! Compliments !
The dowel trick was genius. Your craft is truly inspiring
I am a product designer and system developer manufacturing my own CNC Router. I have always worked more as a project designer and system developer, but once I complete the Router I have to do more of the execution part, I loved your videos, and I like the idea of your manual router. It would be an interesting idea to make the same router with computer movement, I really like that... that's why I'm manufacturing my own Router, which is made entirely of aluminum profile and is easy to assemble and disassemble even though it's a large machine for industrial use. ... I also intend to create very exclusive furniture ideas... I still don't have experience with this but I'm watching a lot of videos like yours here on TH-cam.
Hello. I am Jam from Malaysia. I have built a bench after I got inspired from your videos. I am 67, retired and a lady. My family was shocked and at the same time proud that I could do such a bench. I have accumulated some tools too. I hope to build a workshop in my garden soon.
Your reveal outro was outstanding. You remain the best YT woodworker IMO as your story telling & video production stands above the rest.
Thank you
Sir. You really are a true Artisan. Your imagination and skill to be able to make it a reality is second to none. Thankyou.
Your wood working is amazing. I have no intention on even attempting to make something similar to your work. Some of it isn’t my taste. But watching your videos are relaxing and just intriguing. Great work … ty sir.
thank you for not trying to fill you channel with sub par projects just to get views and clicks, everything you put out is inspiring. even if its once a month, or every six months, thank you, it's worth it
Ich bin jedesmal begeistert von deinen wunderschönen Projekten und deiner Handwerks Kunst!👌🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
Man kann es dir und deinen Kunstwerken förmlich ansehen, wieviel Herzblut und Liebe du in deine Werke einarbeitest!❤🙏🏻
Danke für deine tollen Videos🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I make stuff. 🥰Wow, fabulous work as always. You have miles of experience and your workshop is the stuff of dreams! Yes, I make stuff & have a teeny channel. Thanks for paying it forward & being so supportive!
Eisch, you are a magic craftsman. Your woodworking past with grandpa etc is a massive advantage which is clearly visible. Congratulations 😂
That is indeed a beautiful piece of art!!! Love the overall design and how the sculpted leg flows... An eye candy
I really like the combination of artistry (exceptional), outlook, and commentary that comes with your videos
Love the channel call out Nick. Such a wonderfully worded promotion for every channel out there that is making, Large and small. PS only half way through and am mesmerised by the narration and pace of the video. You have a real talent for the video side as well as the obvious, building skills. Thank you.
Thanks so much
This Masterpiece of you created is above excellent. You are in my eyes a Master of this Art. Thank you for sharing your sculptures.
even though i am now retired i really enjoy seeing a fellow craftsman produce something of this quality. don't worry about the hate on domino's, when its a case of how much bread can you put on your families table, then the quickest way is often the best. i spent many years as a one man shop doing commission only pieces. the thought of doing production work scared the pants of me as far as boredom went.
Hands down my favourite woodworking channel on TH-cam, great content.
Another great design nick looks awesome! Nice job the leg curves look like they grew that way@
Nick, not only are you amazing at what you do. Your also a massive inspiration for other woodworkers as well. Love what you do, love how you go about it. So talented yet so humble. Cheers mate!
Thanks so much
Just found your channel not too long ago, and I have to say, you're an absolutely talented individual and a pleasure to watch. Keep doing what you're doing, sky is the limit. 👏
That my friend is a beautiful piece of work.
What can i say? Your work is on another level of woodworking. It's not just woodworking, it is an art. Hats off to you, Master.
Thank you
Hey Nick! I'm probably a little late with this comment... But, listening to you mention that you enjoy watching TH-cam videos of talented, smaller, and growing channels (me too), I think you might really like Cory at Fortress Fine Woodworking. Among other builds, I was thoroughly impressed with his 'Gothic Table' series. It's his take on Gothic style, which I've rarely seen, and he did an insane trestle base and some AMAZING brass inlay work. I can usually watch one video and guess the rough channel subscriber count, and I was sadly a couple hundred k off! I think, based on his talent, humor, editing skills and some drool worthy tools in a new commercial shop he just set up, I feel like he deserves so much more... and no, I have no personal relationship with him, lol. Never even left a comment, I just thought of him, listening to you mention channels I enjoy as well and feel he deserves a look... I'm in Canada, just sold my business and plan on starting my own custom furniture shop as well. You make some stunning pieces and I look forward to seeing more! I'd really like to learn more from you about the business end, so I'll be seeing you in the Patreon soon👍
Cheers🇨🇦
Thanks for the tip! Ill check it out
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful. Whoever is the keeper of this lump of awesomeness is very lucky! 😎 Great video as well, keep up the great work.
Domino : I'm a pure hobbyist but still, one of the first tool I bought and really love it. Another absolute joy to watch this video. Thanks a lot
Beautiful desk. Thanks for sharing your process!
Very clever, thanks for sharing with us!
The youtube algorithm just suggested this channel, no idea how i went so long without coming across it. There's wood working and then there is this, your work is just art.
Stunning design and truly a one-of-a-kind desk. Your videos are true art
This has been sitting in my "Watch Later" for a few weeks, and I'm very glad I waited until I had time to watch it all in one go and appreciate it fully. Gorgeous work, thank you for sharing it.
Awesome job! Thanks for sharing this great project.
Hello Nick! I make stuff. I make: renderings, plans and head the job site when renovating or constructing new homes; I take care of everything from lighting to plumbing fixtures, Choose finishes, draw the millwork plans and elevations, sometimes even for furniture. In my spare time, I like to give old wood new life... repurpose old pieces ... I'm an interior designer by trade..... But I think I am a woodworker at heart. Thank you for your videos and for the time spent on keeping your channel well updated. It has brought me a lot of joy to watch you work and try and follow your thought process as best I could - I am nowhere near your level of execution! .Keep them coming! Cheers!
Not knowing how to make it is the fun part, it engages the brain in a creative way. You are so right to jump on challenging commissions like this. These jobs are few and far between, I love doing this type of work over normal joinery every time. Great job. p.s. I am super envious of your panel saw.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and "lessons learned". I am a hobbyist and find myself trying all sorts of different techniques and styles. You have provided me some insights into the "can do" mindset to create new pieces of furniture and objects d'art. Thank you.
Oh boy, that's gorgeous. BIG thanks for your generosity to see how you do it...
Hi Nick,
Beautiful as always. When the video started and you said that the bends would be difficult, I immediately thought of boat builders who by having the luxury of working with green wood including root buttresses and branches can almost always find the shape they need in nature. The trade off is that it’s rare to get everything from a single tree but because color matching is not a problem, they manage to make some fantastic bent structural elements of their boats. Wouldn’t be nice to have a whole tree milled and dried, branches and all, to see what one could make? Probably never happen, but one can dream. Anyway, a most enjoyable build. I’m awaiting the next one impatiently.
Cheers,
Keith
All I can say is... WOW! You smashed this unique artistic peice of furniture right out of the ball park my friend. As a retired Antique Chair maker of 33yrs (self employed) brings back for me wonderful joy in building something out of nothing and to be proud of. You managed every aspect of the craft and skill set to create what I call a real "MASTERPIECE"... Thanks for sharing this video!!!
Wow, what a spectacularly-beautiful and fascinating creation. !!!
It's a delight to watch a master craftsman work. It also inspires me to aim high in the quality of my work in my own respective field.
Just outstanding! The wood The presentation and most of all, the craftsmanship.
I have been a subscriber for some time now and appreciate that you have come out from behind the mask and are using your voice, good job mate.
Just stunning. And it at least looks like you work quickly and confidently.
Bravo.. watched this video twice. Beautiful design and executed so precisely.
Beautiful ❤❤❤I don’t do furniture but absolutely love looking at beautiful wood furniture. I do miss that sometimes the old fashion furniture designs aren’t in fashion as all that carving is truly an art of work. The simple design you have shown just truly shows how beautiful wood is. Thank you for sharing this and showing how much skill is involved in knowing all the tricks of the trade it takes to be able to accomplish this beautiful piece of work.
Keep up the beautiful work.
Thank you so much for sharing your work with us. Your thought process and design are beyond words. I look forward to every update from such a skilled artist.
Thank you
I make stuff. I’ve always enjoyed your videos. I kept telling my husband that I watched this guy who never spoke and never even showed his face and his channel was still amazing and filled with wood art. Run on sentences aside, thanks for what you do!
I make stuff! Been trying to get better with every project and every video. Beautiful work as always nick. You have a way of making a rigid material like wood become so elegant.
👌🏽
Idk y but watching these kinds of vids late at night just hits different.
Wow! Another beautiful sculpture! Your work is incredible!
As a life long surfer, I love the flow and curves of your designs…I see the lines I want to be in. Your a an amazing craftsman and one of the best furniture designers I’ve ever seen.
Thank you
That's an amazing desk. I can truly appreciate the time it took to think about how to even begin something this complex. Well done, sir.
This project is just hard to fathom for this novice, although many professionals will likely agree.
The warm curves are the most visually satisfying and the most tactilly inviting piece I've ever seen.
I make stuff and a lot of the video elements I try to capture are inspired by your vids. You’ve always got the lighting and finishing sequence spot on. You’ve got the best woodworking content hands down
The result speaks for itself. Whatever the path or tools. It's beautiful.
I make stuff. Congrats on the perfect balance of education, style and sounds. Love your channel.
Thanks
I make stuff! I make all kinds of stuff, from some amateur woodworking, to even working on my car. An excellent video as always!
The best days are when Pedulla posts 👌🏼
Thanks
the craftsmanship is impressive. I remember doing wood work when I was at university for a film project. We needed those Japanese traditional sliding doors. And the problem solving was really fun. As we had no money, I remember looking at the bin full of scrap wood and having my piece made out of so many different wood pieces.
