This is the second piece made for a fairly new client.The brief was for a slender writing table and chair, new in style but with classical proportions and an air of "Englishness".

After drawings and materials (Teak and Leather) were approved, I decided to incorporate some Laburnum Oysters. This was not only for there close association with English furniture but because I had cut some six years previous and had not found a suitable piece to use them on.

The client has taken delivery and I'm told uses it every day, which is more than can be said for my straight edge which got buried inside the desk, but that's another story.
