Making a Headmaster's Desk

This was a fun project — a standup desk as a gift to a private school headmaster. The client commissioned me to make this unique desk with an industrial steel base and a top made from a tree taken down on his property.

I engraved the logo for the school into the top and filled it with epoxy.

I tested making the engraving at different depths on scrap MDF before cutting into the actual desktop.

The headmaster reportedly was blown away. I received an passing grade!
