Woodworker: Steven Kessler

To make this desk, Kessler modified plans for a Roycroft lady’s writing desk. He finished the quartersawn white oak with Jeff Jewitt’s Arts and Crafts finishing technique (FWW #157). Each silver panel took over 100 hours to complete. Kessler employed the metalworking techniques of chasing and repousseé to repeatedly hammer the heated metal into shape.
