Just beautiful. A few years back, I purchased a nice rolltop in mahogany that belonged to a friend’s grandfather. I’ve been refinishing bit-by-bit over the course of the last year. The old shellac had really crazed over. I must say that despite the fact that rolltops just aren’t great for computers – I can’t help but have one in my home. Love to write and design furniture while seated amid all those beautiful cubbies in the gallery.
Cheers,

That is one of my favorite projects of Norms. It is one of those that i would LOVE to build, but don’t know what I’d do with it. It is also WAY, WAY, WAY above my skill level. This one is BEAUTIFUL. it is amazing.

Great Job, maybe one day I can try one for myself. Hope I can do as good a job. It is on my to do list for the house, just don’t have any ideal when it might happen.

just…WOW. That’s is a gorgeous piece you crafted. I hope some day to build one when my skill level gets that good; and I’ll make room for it if I have to…LOL.
