Explorer's Tool
An intriguing and classic explorer's and navigator's tool, this spyglass consists of a wood barrel holding an objective, or system of lenses. To use, pull out the brass tubes (or drawers), and the smallest tube holds the eye objective. Judiciously push in the smallest end-tube to focus, and be amazed at the detail you can now see. It is perfect for observing birds or wildlife.
Nautical Decor
The lenses are protected by brass collars and a decorative brass cap. This polished brass is beautiful and its wonderful aesthetic allows the spyglass to carry out its other function - as a piece of nautical decor. The rosewood has been French finished - where at least five coats of varnish have been applied, with sanding in between. The idea is to create a rich coat that, together with applications of subtle patinas and mixed waxes, results in an aged and lived-in look. Place this spyglass on a bookcase or desk in a nautical-themed gentleman's office, or a sophisticated study.
