Myrtle is unlike any other wood I work with. Found only on the Southern Oregon and Northern California coast, it has a kaleidoscope of color that shifts in the light — cream, gold, olive, even touches of brown. Myrtle also has a natural shimmer, called chatoyancy, that gives it a rare depth and beauty. A myrtle desk adds character and inspiration to your workspace without even trying. I choose boards that bring out this wild personality, and once finished with a VOC-free, food-safe oil, the wood seems to glow from within.
U Leg – clean, modern lines with sturdy support
Trapezoid Leg – a bold, contemporary angle
Premium Curved H Leg – architectural strength with subtle curves
Each set of legs is crafted from steel and finished in matte black or brushed steel, giving your desk refined contrast and rock-solid durability.
Whether you need a compact desk for a small home office or a wide workstation to spread out, I’ll build it to your exact dimensions. Standard sizes are available, or we can create custom measurements to perfectly fit your space.
Designing a desk with Stumptown is a collaborative process. You’ll work directly with me to choose the right wood tones, grain character, and leg style. Every desk is designed to suit your workflow and complement your home or office.
If you’re in Portland, I’d love for you to visit my workshop. You can look through myrtle boards, see desks in progress, and help shape the details of your own. If you’re outside the area, I’ll keep you connected with photos and updates at each step of the build.

Every desk that leaves my shop is built with passion and love for the craft. From selecting each board of myrtle to the final hand-applied finish, I’m obsessed with every step. The result is not just a desk, but a one-of-a-kind piece made just for you.
