The industrial look that is becoming so popular is really not my thing but, man, that desk is beautiful!! I could become a convert if it all looked that good.

Great looking table, did you put a finish on the steel to keep it from rusting?

-- Dan Wiggins

thank you all for your comments … i will pass them on to my sons and the other guys in the shop. regarding the metal finish, the plasma cut angle iron is first sanded to 120, then treated with a surfin product called ‘redi brown’, which makes brass brown and steel black. next that chemical is neutralized with baking soda and water, and then we put two coats of a paint extender called Penetrol wiped on and allowed to dry over night between coats. the penetrol does a good job of resisting rust in an indoor situation. thanks again … dan

Very Nice. I love simply elegant. Just a thought…switch the left and right drawers. To me it looks as if the crotch figure would flow nicer across the front of this beautiful desk/table.

Very intriguing, all the way around, from the design, to the execution of mating all the details up into one coheisvely artistic piece.

I like the drawer fronts as they make the fish appear as though they are swimming upstream. Maybe that was a happy accident, but it looks purposeful to me.

Gorgeous, it’s projects like this that got me restarted in blacksmithing to accent woodworking. Another SUCCESS.
