I would like to share some photos of the two Lonnie Bird Pennsylvania Secretaries from FWW issues 154-156 that I built from the plans in the magazine. The desk pictured on the left is a Wedding present for a niece, the desk pictured on right is for my wife.
The first desk (for niece) has been done for time, as I was waiting to finish the second desk so I could take pictures of the two side by side.
The primary wood is Black Walnut with Poplar as the secondary. The brasses are from Ball and Ball, the finish is Transfast Antique Red Walnut dye with Garnet Shellac. The raised panels and drawer front are all veneered with crotch Walnut shop sawn veneer, dovetails are done by hand.
Thanks for looking..
