Desktop Organizer

This little organizer is the perfect place for bills, receipts, stamps, pens, and the like. This version uses dovetail construction and the parts are kept thin for a delicate, not clunky, look. Mike Pekovich creates his own quartersawn ash boards by edge-jointing strips from a plainsawn board. There are plenty of tips for dovetailing thin stock, as well as cutting the stopped dado joints that house the dividers. A scalloped front edge on the horizontal divider adds a nice detail.
