Master’s Desk
This fly tying bench is designed for a serious fly tyer with a ton of material and tool storage space and a large
overhead bookshelf. The desk is constructed from solid curly maple with birdseye maple drawer fronts. There
are total of 18 drawers - four drawers in the desk and fourteen in the upper hutch section. The central part of
the upper hutch features a deep storage well with a framed ceramic tile painting by Dave Whitlock - other
pictures are available or the space can be custom designed to highlight artwork of your choice. The desk will
accommodate both pedestal and C-clamp vises - with a large central drawer position to allow full access to the
drawers without moving a C-clamp vise. All of the drawers feature handcut dovetail joints. The upper hutch
section is constructed with handcut dovetail joints and sliding dovetails. The drawers in this desk feature a
3/16" thick hardboard bottom to maximize interior storage space, but solid hardwood bottoms from poplar or
aromatic cedar are available. Custom knobs with laser etched trout and fly design. The desk can be
accessorized with a custom tool storage tray or bobbin holder. Custom drawer interiors (spool holder, dividers,
etc) are also available.
As with all my pieces, the size, style, wood selection, and coloring can be customized to suit the customer's
requirements.
