Top-Grain Leather Desk Pad

The thing that makes a desk look finished.

Eighteen by fifteen and a half inches of water-resistant top-grain leather, with stitched and treated edges instead of a raw cut. It protects the wood under it from everything a desk gets subjected to, and unlike the desk it will look better in five years than it does now.

Two things worth knowing. This is a new line for Rogue, so the run is small and there are six left. And they build these from whatever good hide they have on hand, which means the exact leather shifts between batches. Yours will not be identical to the photo.

Details

• Genuine top-grain leather, water resistant

Who makes it

Rogue Industries, in Standish, Maine. Michael Lyons started the company in 2007 and the workshop runs on solar.

I did not make this and I am not going to imply I did. What I can tell you is it is made in the United States by a shop that puts its own name on it, which is the same standard I hold the turquoise to.
