3e5 Varieties of Wood in One Desk.

Letter from HdgeTStODn.
Lewis Dutrow, carpenter on the turnpike
between Monterey and Buena Vista, on the
border of Washington county, Maryland, has
just completed remarkable writing desk.
The desk is made mainly of cypress and is an
ornate and substantial piece of work. The
novelty is the lid. This is made of white wal
nut, in seven pieces, doweled, pinned and
glued. at each end of the lid is three-inch
strap of quartered oak. The size of the lid is
164 inches by 289 inches.
This lid is inlaid with 2,076 blocks of 365 diff
ferent varieties of wood. The first piece of
wood for this inlaid work was cut November
LIST, 1899, on the mountain between Buena
Vista and Monterey. 1t is of white birch.
This was followed by the collection of a
specimen of every species on the South Noun
tain. He then searched the forests of foreign
lands. By looking over catalogues of firms
handling foreign woods he made his selections
and then by correspondence with friends in
these countries or with the United States con-
suls he had the wood sent him, until today in
the finished lid can be seen sandal wood from
the coast of Malabsr and Indian archipelago,
cocoanut wood from the East Indies, ebony
from Madagascar and Ceylon, rosewood from
Brazil, camphor wood from Borneo and
Sumatra, cinnamon wood from Ceylon, COCO
bola from Porto Rico, iron wood from parts of
the United States, satin wood from the far off
jungles of India, tulip wood from the dense
forests of South America, butternut from parts
of our United States, bamboo from the isles of
the sea and the beautiful amaranth from with.
