Andy Rooney's Walnut Desk

[Jeff]

I saw this segment on "60 Minutes" this past Sunday. Andy built this desk from a flitch cut from a black walnut tree on his property in upstate New York. I think it's pretty neat and thought you folks would be interested in seeing it too.

Yep, I've been drooling over that desk since I first saw it.

I've been drooling over it too. What a beautiful piece of wood.
Andy also wrote a very nice piece for Fine Woodworking's 50th?, 75th?(whatever) anniversary a few years back.
