Yup.....,
Use it in my shoes. Also good to prevent chafing when it warms up.

There are 3 desks just in this room, a disassembled late 19th century desk in the dining room (we got it for spare pocket change on Sunday), a 1920s desk in the guest bedroom, one 1940s desk in the wife's craft room and a 1950s replica of a late 18th century desk in my workshop.

Sorry for the bad picture quality, my phone doesn't like low light conditions and it's night time already.

Replica Baroque desk:


Partners Desk, turn of the 20th Century, with a lot of abuse in the past (it had been used as a workbench when I bought it):


1930s Desk


Damn, looks like I have yet another *AD

If you ever want to sell that desk, I have some razors to trade! ha ha ha...

The shipping would be a killer

This desk is used for interfacing with the world. I spend as little time as possible here. I have a desk in my shop but I spend most of my time at a workbench in the garage. The garage makes me feel warm and safe. There is a sign "My Garage, My Rules"



The desk in the shop is not used very often. The white bins are where I keep razors and razor parts.

No customers come back there! The bulk of my restoration work and honing take place on that left pull-out.

Like minds mess alike.

Damn Michael. Such a nice desks.

Here's mine. Nothing special. Just an old desk.

We should expand this thread to "office" pictures vs desks. Offices tell a much larger story. Here's the other half of my office after the destruction caused by "hurricane Jacob":
