Weekly Reflection and Future Plans

The past week I spent mostly thinking about what I wanted for an end result, and attempting to put it into drawings and models that may possibly work. On the CAD portion of my work, I'm not too sure the back panel will hold up as I'm hoping, as there is a two part mortise and tenon to hold the desk together. The top of my desk so far I've planned to be three planks about 8inches wide each. Currently the look is similar to a park bench, so I'm hoping for wider pieces of wood to work with. 

I'm looking into reused wood at Ithaca ReUse located at the triphammer mall. It accepts donations from locals who want to give their past projects, and Ithaca ReUse resells them for a very small price to make profit.
