Rod Wolfe is a retired nuclear submarine Captain. He took up woodworking after retirement, attending Palomar College classes in the Cabinet and Furniture department. This project, the period reproduction of a Queen Anne desk-on-stand, was completed in the spring of 2011. His instructor was Bill Cox.

The project is made of cherry with maple as the secondary wood. The finish is a hand rubbed oil finish.

Your contribution is beautiful. I am also a retired submariner and have taken the same path as you. After retirement, I have taken up woodworking. While I have taken on Queen Anne pieces also, my main interest today is jewelry boxes and toys. I have about a dozen contributions to the gallery and enjoy browsing and discovering quality work. Yours falls well into that category. Keep up the great work.

Then comes the pieces following your contribution that are nothing more than pieces of wood with "legs" stuck on them that are trying to be passed off as furniture. I just don't get it. They don't live up to the title of the magazine which is FINE WOODWORKING. What is becoming of the art of building fine furniture. Is it like so much of everything else in our society that is going to hell in a handbag?
