An Engineering Marvel


Okay, okay, this desk doesn't include any structural breakthroughs, but it is big, and it is for an engineer.

Marc wanted to be able to lay out plans without completely obscuring his desk. I think we've accomplished that goal. This puppy is 120" long and 66" deep.

We hashed through several ideas of how to treat the corners before arriving at the curved edge on the top and the angled ends on the modesty panel.

For those of you keeping score, the wood is knotty alder with a custom matched stain. The top material is plastic laminate by Wilsonart "Luna Night".

The entertainment center/bookcase in the top picture is also from Saratoga Woodworks, as is the window seat barely visible toward the right of the picture.
