Popular Post twolip Posted August 19, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 Hey guys! Haven't really been around the forum too much lately, last time i posted was my first project bench. Decided to go a different way with this desk. There is just something about creating something smooth out of rough, was super fun to do. Anyway id love some input or on things i could have done better. Its Black Walnut wood i got from a Arborist in the area, he cuts and drys wood, pretty good supply and not expensive at all. The epoxy got a little out of hand because of the table i was doing it on. If your not perfectly level itll run pretty bad. Thankfully no leaks tho. Used legs i got on amazon because i don't think i have it in me yet to make my own. Or maybe just no confidence to do it/ try it. Sanded everything down from 60grit to 400 grit. Then finished up with Rubio Monocoat. Very easy finish to put on and pretty strong. Just a little expensive for what you get. Turned out beautiful to my eyes. Id love to hear your input. This was done for my mother, who is working from home since covid started. She loves it and hasn't had any problems. Good or bad id love to hear it. Thanks for your time in advance!!! <>Mike 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 I really like the looks of the desktop, Mike. The black epoxy is a nice compliment to the black steel legs. What is up with all the cross-grain marks in that first photo? Not saw marks from cutting the board, surely? Looks almost intentional. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
