Desk Set

This desk set is made from a cherry burl and finished with four coats of blonde shellac. The brass posts hold twelve to fifteen business cards.  It is fourteen inches in length, 4 1/2 inch in overall width and 2 inches thick. The brass pen holder is inserted at an angle and there is a recess in center for paper clips.

18th Century Style Secretary

This desk which my wife is keeping is made with cherry (secondary woods are popular and butternut) and all hardware is solid brass. It has taking roughly four months to build. This didn't consume all that time as you have to wait for glue to dry as well as the finish. During those times I have continued to turn a few bowls and made a pen/business card holder out of a beautiful cherry burl which I will post later.

This sofa table was designed and built for a lady in Vermont.  The legs, rails and drawer fronts are walnut with a maple top, drawer knobs and accent strip at base of legs. It is 5 feet in length, 15 inches in width and stands 36 inches.  It is finished with five coats of blonde shellac, waxed and buffed.
