Finally getting to get some wood work done after several months on a complete renovation project of a condo.
This is a live edge free floating desk I've been working on. The figuring in this slab is just plain sick! We decided to cut this slab at the split where it created a half moon void to run power cords and such. This will eliminate the need to run those on the face of the desk being that it is corner fit and free floating (no desk frame.) I hand finished this piece by hand burnishing it. I chose denim and the wood chips removed from planing to achieve this. Burnishing closes the open cells of the fibers by heating them up through friction. This is an old world craftsman technique that leaves not only a beautiful sheen and finish but a glass like feel to the touch. I will post more photos after this piece is at its forever home.
