This desktop is made from honey locust and epoxy. Gold epoxy is being used to fill checking and knotholes in an emulation of kintsugi. Because I'm lazy--and the information is adequate for my purposes here--I'll provide Wikipedia's summary of the technique: 

Kintsugi (金継ぎ, "golden joinery"), also known as kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with urushi lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum.

The top was initially surfaced with hand planes and a belt sander, then the gold epoxy was poured.

The top now needs to be resurfaced. The slab will then be cut at 90°, straight down the length and respositioned with the live edges in the center for a final epoxy pour to make a "river" table. This will be mounted onto a black steel frame with dual electric motors to create an adjustable height desk.

This project is on hold while I build a large (4' x 8') router jig for surfacing/flattening large slabs like this.

I'm making a board game! I can't go into too many details yet, as I don't have many to give.  I have a tentative board layout created and am working on creating a physical prototype that I can use to test fundamental gameplay elements before moving on to art, theme, and refining rules.
