An Artist's Drawing Board

I've just finished a small project for an artist who needed a drawing board made but wanted something a little bit different — something so that 'I feel inspired to do my best work when I sit down at it'. He is going to use it at an antique mahogany desk so it needed to harmonise with that.  

Fortunately I have a small stock of really exquisite 50 year old mahogonny, and this seemed like a chance to use a bit of it.  The T-square is made of mahgoanny and walnut.  There are a couple of subtle beads for decoration and it has a shellac finish. We were both very happy with the result.

That looks great. Are the legs in back hinged?

Thanks George!

Yes the legs are hinged so it can be carried around if need be.
