The desk was built with help of the VX-31 aircrew (Pilots and NFOs) and their families. Different individuals / families would come to my shop every Tuesday and Wednesday night and some weekends for about a year ...so it was a project that many help to make - I acted as the designer, the foreman ...and also created a lot of the desk. It displays the VX-31 Squadron logo and the symbols of the Navy and Marine Corps. It also has several of the modern weapon systems on the front of the desk. There is no paint or stain, all the colors are inlayed woods with a clear finish. I did not get paid for this, my labor was a gift to the squadron as an expression of appreciation for what our military does.
