Makes me want to remodel the kitch just so I can get a sink
cutout for a desk or tabloe.

That's a great looking desk, and anyone would be happy to claim
it. Seeing it, I'm like you and I'd love to build one if I had
the tools. Perhaps a variation would be to layer another piece of
plywood beneath the center part, fill it partially with thinset
mortar and place 12" marble, slate or granite tiles in the
opening. For writing, that could present a problem, but for other
uses it'd be fine. You could also visit a granite/marble
fabricator and I bet that they'd give you cutouts or pieces you
could use whole. They'd surely charge you to square the pieces
up, but it'd make a swell looking insert.
