Sneak-Peak: The Frontier Desk
Added 2021-09-08 12:33:39 +0000 UTCFriends:
Just wanted to give you a little look at this week's project: a nifty nailed desk from America's frontier era. The picture I've posted here is a Fusion rendering, but there are more pictures and details in the discourse thread:

Charming that you daughter wanted hand in making the desk. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

2021-09-09 23:34:19 +0000 UTCSaw you posted this and it reminded me of a piece of information I found when working on family history: "A slant-front desk made in 1790 for George Gelwicks (1739–1817) is the second earliest dated example of York County sulfur-inlaid furniture (figs. 175, 176). George was the son of Friedrich Heinrich Gelwicks (1712–1783), who emigrated from Germany by 1733, when he married Maria Dorothea Euler/Eiler at Providence (now Trappe), Montgomery County, Pennsylvania."
