This desk
was made in 1981 and survived a very
busy household since that time. It
recently came back for re-hab. There was
nothing wrong with it except for needing
some surface cleaning and refinishing.
It has been remarkably solid and had no
loosened joints or other weaknesses.
This desk
was done partially to be whimsical in
design, colorful to the eye and to
fulfill strong desire for uniqueness. It
was in a gallery prior to finding its
home in San Diego, CA.
This desk was requested to be based upon
an early American style. The client has
strong ties to the Hawaiian Islands so
Koa was chosen for the wood. It has
Ebony trim and inlay along with the
leather writing surface.
