Walnut And Bird's-Eye Maple Office Desk
Handmade in Belfast, Maine by Lincoln Clapp Handmade
This desk is inspired by the Wooton office desk that was built in the 1870's. The idea was that it would house your whole personal office in one cabinet and, at the end of the day, you could close the doors and lock them. This piece features 24 cubby holes and 24 drawers. That's a lot of storage and organizational power. I call this 'the sheriffs desk' because of the inlayed stars on the desk lid and gallery. The stars and the drawer fronts are solid bird's-eye maple and the case is solid walnut. The cubbys in the center section and upper doors are tall enough to hold large books and folders. The whole desk sits on brass casters for easy moving.

About Me:
After spending a decade in NYC as an audio engineer recording such talents as Stevie Ray Vaughn and Whitney Houston I decided to pursue a life-long love of woodworking by moving to Maine and building traditional furniture. My love of music evolved into offering a line of electric guitars called 'LincSonic'. I am currently the senior furniture builder for Windsorchair as well as an independent, custom electric guitar designer and builder.
About My Work:
I have been woodworking for about forty years. My work reflects my appreciation of traditional furniture design; from Queen Anne to Arts and Crafts to Shaker. One of my drop-front desks was featured on the cover of Fine Woodworking, (December 1992, #97). Over the years I have built over 3000 pieces of furniture.
My LincSonic guitars reflect my love of music and my satisfaction in designing and building a fine musical instrument.
