Project is in its infancy, but after two weeks of searching I finally committed to some live edge slabs for my future desk.
Its awkward shape is due to my new home being small and my desk having to squeeze next to my bed. The Beech should stain up nice with some epoxy/filler in the cracks. I plan on using the second slab (one of the left) (which I wish I could use because of the character) for floating 8" shelves above the desk to store files, etc as the "desk" will just be a floating slab with a keyboard below.
The project timeline is extended as I went with distorted slabs (@$200 a piece) that have a 1/2" cup in them. I'll be rough cutting them tomorrow hopefully and getting them out to the rare 22" planer at the local lumber yard to flatten them out. Just gotta finalize sizing tonight.
A little back ground on myself I do run a family construction company where our more skilled employees would create this easily, but I'm looking to take a stab at wood working myself with this one. I figure the best place to mess up is my own home.
