My desk build I started in May, live edge with a functional base.

imgur.comNice. Did you end up doing that under lighting? How much was the slab?

I was going to follow a tutorial that said it was $50 to do custom lighting with a nano. (https://youtu.be/wBMm1tInv4Q) but after seeding my cart on Amazon I was at $120 (you can't really buy one resistor and one capacitor) so that plan was limbo'd for the time being. I may just transfer over some basic lights I already have in the room and just have them be static for now, and buy components spread out over time.
The slab was from a local sawmill (https://www.liveedgeri.com/) and it started at 7 feet 4 inches and was max about 35 inches wide. It ran me $270. Originally quotes from other vendors was $500+ and I almost gave up on doing live edge due to cost.

270 is a remarkable price. Maybe the lighting will come in time.

Good looking desk. I really need to build myself a new desk.

Thanks! I took my sweet time and it really was an enjoyable experience. I recommend it!

Upvoted for the thumb trackball.
People always give me flak for it. Good to see some positive feedback! I guess "thumbs up" is appropriate?
Flak means you're over the target!
Those people are dead wrong.
It's mostly people who try to use it, fail, and say, "How do you use this thing every day?"
I felt like it was looking at me!
That just have me a great idea: a glass eye of sauron ball!
