Desk from scraps

This is my most recent project in the shop. My sister wanted a unique desk with some character that will fit easily in her apartment and give it some color. She was totally open to the design, materials, colors, and storage options. It was a great opportunity to let my mind dream. Another challenge I gave myself was to use as many found and scrap materials as I could in the design. Most of the pieces were cut from an old tabletop from a co-worker. The pegboard panels were given to me by a friend in an old in-store display. Most of the paint was leftover from when we painted a couple rooms in our house a while ago. Here are a few photos of the work in progress. They aren't very good due to the poor lighting in the shop, but you'll get the idea. I have just wrapped up the project and will be delivering it this week to her apartment. I'll post some better pics once it is in its new home.
