    Roger, what a beautiful desk. Can you post a picture or two of the piston system you used to have the top move up and down if you don't mind.

    That is a lovely piece. I was hoping the finish would allow that beautiful (and very abundant) figure show through. Well done. Love the lacewood too.

    BTW, Roger, I forgot to mention that I "fell in love with" English brown oak a couple years ago when I scored some nice pieces of it at my favorite hardwood supplier. Not only was it great to work with, it was my first project done largely using hand-tools for surfacing the project components. Nice stuff that I hope to work with some more!

    you did justice to the wood is all I can say.
    The means by which an end is reached must exemplify the value of the end itself.

    Roger, Outstanding!!! Burr Oak. I never used any but I have one down in the bend of the river. It is better than nine feet around and very tall and straight.
    I might have to sharpen my chainsaw.

    Definitely a work of art and it looks great on location. Well done, a tribute to your skill as a woodworker.
    Best Regards,

    Gordon

    That's what struck me. All the in progress shots were great, but it seemed

    "out pf place", until the final shot, "in place" is perfect.
