You wouldn't happen to be related to John & Peter Hall?
While Greene & Greene designed the pieces which bear their
name, much of their pieces were actually made by brothers
Joun and Peter Hall. From the pictures of this desk I'm
betting there is some genetic connection. If there isn't
there should be. Coming up with nice designs is great.
Being able to actually MAKE them, that's the hard part.
You've got both down nicely.
I know the desk is going to be a USER - but PLEASE don't
finish it with poly. Shellac would be perfect - and a lot
easier to repair for whoever inherits your desk - and
this one will surely be passed on to someone who will
appreciate it. That's at least my hope for it.
Now when are you going to point out the trivial mistakes
that no one will ever notice? (If you lay down right here
and hold this mirror this way - and shine a flashlight
right up under there - you can see where I . . .)
