Admiral Nelson Desk

nice project posting. I love the design.

-- keeping myself entertained ... Humor and fun lubricate the brain

I wonder how close to the place where Nelson was shot was the wood was taked from or the spot
below decks where he died.

I have a small piece of the USS Constitution taken during a re-fit.

Very nice desk!

Nice story and a nice desk. I like the finish, looks nice but I see your dilemma with matching it to the chair.

-- I can build us one.

That’s a great piece, has a real warm and cozy look to it but elegant at the same time. Nicely executed.

Very nice job. I am interested in the plans, did you design this yourself from pictures or were you able to find plans somewhere?

-- Common sense is so rare anymore when you do see it, it looks like pure genius.

Great desk!

Wonderful work – great choice.

Did you do the turnings too?

Very nice, and the history that goes with it really enhances the project.

A box with maple from Ike’s HQ, a chair built from the HMS Victory, what other cool stuff have you got stashed away?

-- I've cut that board three times and it's still too short!

That’s some fine work Charles,

Really great job.

Great work, Charles. Great story about the chair.
A navy man with a piece of The Victory. Excellent!

Well now looks like to me that you went from Commander to Admiral in just one sitting. Outrageously beautiful. Great compliment to the chair is your hand built table replica. Handy guy you are Skipper. Great job. Thanks for sharing this with us.

DocK16: I don’t have plans, rarely do. I just estimate from photos then embellish!

Shaun: Funny you should ask…I made 5 living room tables with Teak wood that I acquired from USS WISCONSIN (BB 64) while I was a LT and teaching navigation at NROTC, University of Wisconsin – Madison. I’ll make point of posting those tables soon.

All: Thanks for your too kind comments. Max
