    Agree, the render looks so good i thought it was the final result lol

    Still, looking fantastic so far & if it ends up anything like the render "WOW"
    p.s, My desk dont look like a bathtub, its more like a park bench :D

    At first I feared a lot of renders and not much else, but what you've shown so far of the real build tells me this will be good.:D

    Absolutely love the renders of this desk, it has a gorgeous shape to its inner design.
    I'm looking forward to seeing this come together and the final product.

    I'd love something like this for myself but with the red switched out for orange.

    This is one awesome design and wicked craftsmanship! I wish you'd do a more extensive writeup of the process, we demand to know how!

    Also: wow!
