Captain’s Desk
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Robert Stanlaske
Stanlaske made this captain’s desk to fulfill his case-piece requirements at North Bennet Street School in Boston. After seeing a photo of the desk in Lon Schleining’s Treasure Chests (The Taunton Press, 2001), Stanlaske visited the Mystic Seaport Museum in Connecticut, where he was allowed to measure the original. Made of mahogany, maple, and pine with brass accents, the desk took approximately 400 hours to complete and is finished with an oil-and-varnish mixture.
