I had a cutout left over from my kitchen project a couple years ago. While doing other projects, I was weighing possible uses; tossing it offended my sensibilities. The objective was to come up with a simple application that did not require inordinate time to complete but that would be useful.

Like I said, the idea here was not to go for complex and elegant, but something simple, strong, and durable.

That's a great looking desk, and anyone would be happy to claim it. Seeing it, I'm like you and I'd love to build one if I had the tools. Perhaps a variation would be to layer another piece of plywood beneath the center part, fill it partially with thinset mortar and place 12" marble, slate or granite tiles in the opening. For writing, that could present a problem, but for other uses it'd be fine. You could also visit a granite/marble fabricator and I bet that they'd give you cutouts or pieces you could use whole. They'd surely charge you to square the pieces up, but it'd make a swell looking insert. -- Nonny ELOQUIDIOT (n) A highly educated, sophisticated, and articulate person who has absolutely no clue concerning what they are talking about.

The top here was not complicated, it is a laminate top (Wilsonart), so it is well within the range of anyone with woodworking tools if you don't want to go to the trouble of replacing your countertops. -- There is never a situation where having more rounds is a disadvantage Rob Leatham |

Looks great Mark.. Nice simple lines.. One thing nice about the top is
you can put almost anything on there and not worry about it get stained or scratched.. Should last a long time and still look good that way..

You are definitely right about the laminate top, especially knowing that this piece is going to be used by a teenager over the coming years.
