The hole for the window Drawer fronts Drawer support section of genealogists desk Drawer fronts shaped and painted Desk components painted and the drawer fronts added Genealogists desk completed The basic box - it is a dome up one which is nice for a change Some of the tiny photos i've printed out to add to the walls eventually.

These are actual photos of my relatives....and there at the far left is a tiny wedding photo of my daughter and her husband :-) The desk sitting in the box with $NZ2 coin for scale ©2010 Sarndra Lees
