Acrylic desktop



I've been making furniture. This one is rather interesting. I have a pedestal file that's about 5 1/2 inches lower than the desk. There's also an odd pointed corner at the desk. So I had a "design opportunity." Top piece is 1-inch acrylic slab. Rods are each 1 3/8 in diameter. Bottom is nominal 5/4 solid cherry. Acrylic to acrylic welds are the only permanent connections. The rods slide into holes in the cherry, which sits on the pedestal file sandwiching a non-slip pad. The entire assembly weighs 39 pounds.

Every room deserves a unique piece of furniture or art.
