The desk is an unqualified hit. Sarah loves it, and as soon as it came home from its hiding place yesterday, we set about emptying her old one and moving it into the cellar to make room for the new desk. A few months ago, a friend of ours from Brattleboro who makes classical icons in the Russian Orthodox manner brought one to our house for a couple of days. It was hard to stop gazing at it, so powerful was its impact and such a statement did it make. The desk has a similar effect: it’s just not possible to walk through the living room and not be arrested by its elegance and beauty. Thank you for making such a lovely piece. It was good to meet you a couple of weeks ago. Sorry to have missed Cheryl.
