    18th century curly maple secretary

    hi guys
    I have been busy with lots of things, but have found time to finish this piece for my office. photos are not the best, but you get the idea. I am planning on moving to building federal pieces for my next few challanges. But this one is sure nice to look at.

    enjoy

    That is absolutely stunning work Lou. The wood selection is outstanding and the gallery detail is incredible. Oh yeah, the finish doesn’t look to shabby either.

    You should submit this to the FWW gallery
