Wow, I can’t believe I can say this truthfully; I’ve never seen a desk like that. You creativity is amazing. Great work, you truly push the limits of design.

-- You know.... I think that old wood needs to be furniture.

Very nicely done. Reminds me of Thomas Molesworth furniture, but a step above his style. Rancho Deluxe !

WOW !!!! VERY CREATIVE, Did you make it for someone?

Nice, really looks good, how long does it take to sand out just one of those legs?

-- David South FLorida

WOW!

-- projects dont pay,pieces are profitable,production is painfull

WOWEEE! Now that’s a desk! I’m usually not a fan of rustic furniture, but this is more of a museum/gallery quality piece of work. I really like the way each detail flows into another. A very well thought out project and well executed!

The legs remind me of either the wild mane of a pony or a cowboy’s chaps over pant legs. The bare white wood is quite sensuous and the brown bark is rugged. Very unique and the lines flow extremely well into each other. The drawer handles are quite unique too and well done. The attention to detail is masterfully done, yet you kept it simple, and this makes it elegant. Rustic elegance? If that’s a category, you have achieved it. Bravo Cowboy!

I can’t wait to see the chair!

you do some really creative, artistic work. I have really enjoyed studing the pictures. could you post some more? I ‘m not sure what the legs are. Would like to see some different sides and “Up close” shots. Thanks, Mark aka trimtrac

Thanks everyone for all the kind words!I’m glad others see a horses mane in the leg material I was stuggling on what to use for the legs on this desk then when I came across these peices I knew they had to go on this horse desk no matter how difficult.Thanks again!!!

as unique as they come well done

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Nice to hear from you Thos.Angle hope all is good with you.

Gosh, I was looking at this again and marveling at the way it all flows. The match of materials and theme and your craftsmanship is really something to behold.

Was wondering when the horse painting was decided upon? During planing or after? Did you know the painting you wanted before you found the legs? Was it a horse theme all along? The legs and the painted wild pony’s are so cool together! What a fantastic piece! A real treasure!

THat’s just a CRAZY desk! Very well done, almost Dr. Seuss like

-- Ben Kahmann Dayton, OH

Amazing, thats the best desk i’ve ever seen…

mtnwild-I had a rough idea of what I was going for and had the painter do the horses I gave her examples of the woods I was going to use so she could pick up on some of the colors.I struggled with what to do for legs then came across these from a supplier and knew I wanted those then the carveing was inspired from the leg materials it seamed odd to have flat panels on the desk with the legs having soo much character.Things like the turquoise river with the horseshoes and burl on little drawers came afterward also.Thanks forn the ? s I should put things like that in the description but i’m not that talented of a writer.

-- Scott NM,http://www.shangrilawoodworks.com

The painting, in my mind, ties it all together. She could have painted a million different horse paintings but she nailed it with this great painting. Such a compliment to your work. Again, great piece! Compliments to you both!

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

don’t know how I missed this one.. lovely!
