Design
I wanted to make a desk that was a little more refined than the usual boxy things I make. The legs are made from a 1.5" thick walnut plank that I planed, milled, and tapered into a lighter leg with heavily rounded edges.
What went wrong?
I had to add the round opening to the cable channel after the fact, when I realized I couldn't get bigger cable endings through. Also, I twisted off a couple of screws in the walnut and maple.
