I’m currently working on two little projects for Teresa. One is the final fettling of the writing desk that was rescued from the local dump. The other is one of my earliest woodworker projects at our current home address. Both are pictured, WIP, above.
The writing bureau has required numerous fixes. Above is a bit of that work: replacing missing brass strips, and fixing broken veneers. Also added new green velvet to the writing surface.
The sewing/box, above, is made from the rosewood table and chairs I got, many moons ago, either via Freecycle or Facebook Marketplace/Gumtree, or whatever.
Originally the piano-hinge was on the outer rear, and looked plain ugly. So I moved it to a more discreet position.
