This Biedermeier inspired design was originally created as an awareness raising piece to encourage the responsible use of rainforest woods. A part of the proceeds from the sale of this desk went to support W.A.R.P. (Woodworkers' Alliance for Rainforest Protection). Because W.A.R.P. has since been merged with other groups, these proceeds now go to support the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and World Wildlife Fund. The Carpathian Elm Burl top is bordered in Macassar Ebony which has been hand cut to create a waterfall effect with the grain around the perimeter of the apron. This apron contains 3 dovetailed solid Cherry pencil drawers that have been carefully mitred to the edge of the top.
