Nice render.

For something like that you might just consider using a good grade of
maple or birch plywood for the desk surface (maybe double-thickness
around the edges) with solid edging of the same (or maybe contrasting)
species glued on and then shaped with a router.

You could run the plywood grain the long way down your desk, then have
the short leg butted up against it. That way you get the simplicity of
a butt joint, and the grain pattern would be continuous on the surface.

I don't think a butt joint would allow for the corner piece. I guess I
was seeing it made up of 3 pieces. 2 pieces for each leg of the L and
a corner piece kinda diamond shaped.

So I guess according to my image there WOULD be two butt joints.
