Made this little desk for the quest quarters. 
Singer treadle base just cleaned up and wiped down with wax to reduce rusting.

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.

Nice rescue!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Thanks Pottz. 
  Made from mesquite scraps and finished with multiple coats of diluted shellac. I never “measure”, just pour a little shellac in a plastic bowl and pour in some denatured alcohol. Maybe 3 shellac to 1 alcohol.  Dries really quick allowing me to get the final finish in a couple of hours, even when my shop is cold. Steel wool between coats. Buff with paste wax.

Size…..
interesting and good looking

That should add a lot of character to the guest room!
