Lego Desk

My boys used to LOVE watching Nick Zammeti coming up with crazy woodworking ideas on Youtube, and my oldest's all-time favorite was Zammeti's Lego coffee table. So when I had developed the necessary skills, I decided to make Wesley his dream desk. 

I took some beautiful oak from a felled tree near my parents' house for the top, and once I found a design I liked, I lined it with Legos and poured the epoxy. Since they all came from the big Lego box my parents had given us, some of these Legos are probably the very same blocks that my brother and I played with when we were young. 

Also note the drawer fronts in the picture below. This was my first time attempting something like that, with the fronts all cut out of the same piece of wood, and I think the effect is stunning.
