Slab Desk

I wanted to build a new desk for my room that looked nice but was substantial and sturdy feeling. After making tons of furniture with iron pipe fittings I decided to try something new. The legs are a mix of minimal modern designs and saw horses. The more modern legs seemed too thin for such a big slab, and I feel the saw horse legs give an unassuming feeling of utility.

The unfinished Sapele slab. I bought this from Macbeath in SF, and had it planed nearby.
