Late 1700s desk

This is just some "normal" production work going through the shop this particular week with emphasis on the late 1700s walnut drop front desk. The family actually had written as well as photographic evidence tracing this piece through the family and it's final transportation to Johnstown, Ohio. Looks like several "hands" of retoration people had been on it over the years including a very bad decision to heavily bleach this walnut. We took our time and did multiple stain steps to bring back more of the original colors of this wood....
