Walnut desk stuff.....

[Michael James]

I was comissioned to do a "plaque" for a neighbor's wife. He wanted something special but didn't know what that was. Soooooooo....... deskplate and pen from the same beautiful chunk of walnut I found locally. and the paperclip closed form is from some black walnut.

Obviously the pics are not the best with the red hues of the table contaminating the pieces, but I did want to get a pic before they went home. I oiled the wood with BLO so they match really well.
I noticed how dry the inside of the paperclip cup looked so I added some lemon oil...... smells nice too! Also, on the next one I will lower the magnet some too..... it's a trade out. Wear on wood or looks?

Thanks,
Michael
ps - The clock is obviously reversible if one wanted to put that at the "customer" end of the desk. In my line of work I don't leave throwables there....:cool:

MJ, that is really very well done! The layout and proportions are great, and the walnut is very, very nice. That paper clip holder deserves a better pic - looks sweet. I think the magnet makes a pretty neat collar.

That came out nicely Michael, a very nice addition to any desk. When we move out, i'll be bringing some walnut

Pretty spiffy dude!! So you hide in the shadow of flatwork I see?! Well done and if it's not well received...send it here!

[David E Keller]

That's cool, MJ! That's a pretty piece of walnut that you used as the base, and the turned items compliment it nicely.

Those came out really nice MJ. Can't beat walnut for sure. Paper clip holder looks really nice.
