- We built this out of an antique office desk, with a new curved top.

- A new desktop is built of oak.

- Finished, polished, and ready to go.
Winter is a great time for on-shore basement projects for the lighthouse.
We converted an old oak desk into a keeper’s desk. First, we crafted a new top to fit the curved inner walls of the tower. We secured it to the two base drawer units with brass fasteners (no rusty steel in the lighthouse environment) and stained it to match.
The desk is installed on the 4th level, which will be the master bedroom. Next, we’ll start building a space-saving Murphy bed, whose mattress can be stored vertically when not in use, and pulled down flat for the evening.
