A Mission Oak Desk
Tiger oak is so yummy. SO SO YUMMY. Ok, now that I have that out of my system. This is a gorgeous solid tiger oak desk that I purchased a few weeks ago from the original owner's daughter. It was purchased back in the 20s or 30s for the gentleman's office (He was a dentist). I painted the base a creamy white, and refinished the top to really let the tiger oak stand out.
