This is a video of an old desk in a museum, pretty fantastic craftsmanship.

I hope several people worked on that otherwise that looks like a lifetime of work.

What a great desk, and it's sort of sneaky and fun. I bet that cost a small fortune but when it was first built, as apposed to a huge fortune today.
