Well, my son is 13 and will be doing online school this semester at least, so he needed a proper desk. I just so happened to have finished my drying shed to kiln dry lumber from my mill. We picked a nice walnut slab and cut it in half and then chose a layout for the river. He liked this way so he could have the little pond at the end too. Doing the epoxy was a challenge and made a mess, but turned out really well. I had to put together a router planer to surface the top. The legs are more live edge slabs that were from a short log that I had. The legs are just put together with screws and glue. The back panel is a live edge slab about 12 wide. Finish is satin oil based poly. I considered things like Odies oil and other oils, but ultimately decided it need a much more impervious finish to protect from the terrible things he will do to the desk over the years. He helped with it a lot and we enjoyed the build. It is 58 long and 24 deep. Thanks for looking.
