I designed this large walnut computer desk together with a client. It’s about 6’ wide and comes apart in five main sections for transportation. The rear panels are removable with French cleats for cable management. The centre section is intended to house the power bars and router, and there is room behind the drawers for audio equipment or a printer. The computer will be housed in the right side (behind the doors), which has vertical slats with spacing for airflow.
I love this desk so much that I think I’ll make one for myself; only not quite as large as this one. This one is HUGE!

WOW, I love it! Especially how easily it comes apart for transport (or looks easy anyway!). How much walnut do you think you used?

New here but two questions. First, how many board feet of wood did you use and second, what kind of finish did you use?
Magnificent work.

I ended up using around 130 bdft of walnut. I also used hard maple for the drawer carcasses (it’s really cheap in my area). It’s a good thing the desk disassembles because it weighs a ton.
I mixed a wiping varnish using equal parts boiled linseed oil, polyurethane and mineral spirits – about 4 coats were applied. The desk top has an additional 10 coats of thinned polyurethane.

This is awesome. You should develop a pattern for it, if others would like to attempt this grand piece.
