Brazilian Mahogany Desk
It is with great sadness, but even greater pride, that I share with you this Brazilian Mahogany desk made by my Grandfather, Mr Eric Foster Smith, who passed away yesterday.

Sir Stinkalot,
My condolences to you & your family on your loss. Your grandfather left a much greater legacy than the beautiful desk.
Cherish his memory & never forget.Cheers

Stinky, my codolences on the death of your Grandfather.
He has left a massive legacy for you in the various bits I assume he has created over the years. Your own great grandchildren will have cause to remember him, even though they never met him.
Could you supply some more shote of the desk please. It looks beautiful.Bob Willson

Stinky,
Sorry to hear the news of your grandfather but what a wonderful legacy he has left us all. The skill, thought and sweat that went into that desk is being admired not only by you but by the rest of us.
Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate that you think enough of us to share part of his legacy with us.
Also given the standard of that piece I would like to see more, and some other shots of the desk.Great minds discuss ideas,

Thank you all for you kind thoughts and words .... its good to know that there are so many friends that I have never met on these boards.
The weekend following the funeral was spent in the garage using many of the tools that my Grandfather had given me a few years ago after arthritis in his hands made it too difficult for him to continue work. I am so fortunate that I was given the opportunity to enjoy his tools whilst he was still alive .... it was certainly something that bought us closer together. I remember how happy he was when he received a terrible bowl that I turned as a thank you gift for the tools.
I will post some more pictures of the desk when I clean all of the Stinkette's work off it.
Thanks again
