This time, it was the choice of a beautiful English walnut tabletop, purchased from an Amish sawyer near Lancaster (PA), that guided the “S(E)oul’s Desk” project. The tabletop is partly live-edge, partly shaped, and the drawers were carved with a free-hand router. The patinæd brass hardware accentuates the drawers' functionality . Another example of the dialogue between material and craftsman.
