Herroberst came over. We found a date on the desk. 5/29/1913. My desk turned 104 years old yesterday!
Owner worked for railroad for 30+ years. Was given his desk to take home upon retirement. Then desk sat in his study for 30 more years until he died at 90. He was right handed, used the right side pull out writing shelf, spilled water or coffee on the right side of the desktop, etc.
I decided to finish with BLO then paste wax. Decided was more in keeping with the age and nature of the desk. Love the smooth feel of paste wax.
Kids have claimed it as their study place. Damn it.
