This small desk is well over 80 years old and has seen its day. It has remained in my family for years and first belonged to my Great Grandfather who handed it down it my Grandfather who handed it down to my Mother who just today gave it to me.
I plan to do a small renovation by adding a removable pipe rack which should house at least 32 pipes or more. This will be located in the center area behind the fold up door. I'll try to find a few cherry wood boards and if not possible I'll use pine and add cherry stain and polyurethane. I'll then be adding removable dividers to the single drawer to hold either more pipes or tobacco tins, pipe tools, etc. I'll line the pipe rack and drawer with either Navy Blue, Forest Green or dark Burgundy felt. If you have other suggestions please feel free to provide them. I can use all the advice, ideas or suggestions you may have to offer.
Please excuse so many images. I sometimes get carried away snapping shots!
