Here’s a project I’m really stoked about. The gentleman I made this executive desk for found 5 huge walnut trees that had come down in a tremendous storm in 2020. He had the wood sawn, dried it, and sent it to me.
I designed and built this desk among other things for him. A traditional finish of linseed oil and wax made this an heirloom quality, one of a kind piece.
The hardware was purchased from Etsy but we weren’t satisfied with it as it appeared a bit pedestrian. It spent a few hours in my wood stove and was then smashed with a ball peen hammer to give it unique hand made flavor.
The desk has a hidden compartment with a removable walnut box. For obvious reasons, not shown here.
I truly enjoy the opportunity to build this kind of furniture that will be loved long after I am gone.
