AM05 Desk – Walnut, Burr Walnut, Leather, Desktop Lino & Copper by Mark Lane.
AM05 Desk has been constructed using FSC sourced american black walnut. The desktop is combination of walnut, Forbo Nero desktop linoleum manufactured from renewable, natural raw materials. Basic ingredients include linseed oil, rosin, wood flour & natural pigments, making it biologically degradable & doesn’t harm the environment at any stage of its life.
A compartment in the desktop is accessed by an inset Burr walnut veneered lid with an inset black leather belt pull fixed in place with copper nails. The interior of the compartment has been quarter sawn walnut veneered with the same desktop lino base. The exterior of the compartment has 25 to 35 individually sculpted & faceted walnut sections, making each AM05 desk unique. Each AM05 desk is branded discreetly underneath with the Spokeshaved logo & numbered.
The desk is completed with a fixed walnut framed black leather satchel with the same copper nail detailing.
AM05 stands for Annie Mae, my lovely little girl.
