Thank you Edward. Yes, the desk is a "partners desk" (i.e. two sided). The far side (with the seat in the photo) is where I sit and differs from the camera facing side in that it doesn't have the middle drawer - just an arched timber piece beneath which I sit. The far side also has the two...
Slipperyskip, your work is as much art as it is engineering - and excellent from both perspectives.
On the selling, perhaps it's more of a case of there being far fewer people "able to" than "willing to" pay the price for such quality. I for one would be more than willing, if I thought I could...
Thank you Mr. Lyles both for your compliments and suggestions. I have seen the work of Jeffery Stephenson before, and he does do amazing work. His work has inspired me to build a humidor based home theatre PC, complete with Art Deco themed skin. I doubt it will be as nice as his work, but I...

Stearmen, thank you - it's...
OK, well this is embarrassing - I've been trying for an hour to get images to appear but to no avail...
Fixed it - apparently https links (such as those used by Dropbox) won't work here.
Whilst I have been watching and admiring everyone's posts, I have been steadily preparing myself for the day I too would own a something worthy of posting to these esteemed pages.
