This project has come to a close and adds to our collection of, too
damn big" furniture.

Anyway I may add some accent lighting to the upper unit and I need to
address the wires under the desk top, I have plenty of support under
the desk top that I could hang the wiring, sub wolfer, and UPS.

I think I may eventually extend the top trim out another layer and put
LED ribbon lighting under it's edge and or add the same type lighting
along the bottom rail just above the monitor. That may be too close
and cause glare, maybe not.

So here is a shot of the desk from a distance just outside the office.
The desk and top are about 86" tall, and 96" wide. The desk top is
34" deep. I am happy with all of the arcs, the top rails of each desk
drawer, the gradual one just under the desk top in front, it has
another 3/4" rail, attached just behind it and there are 3 more pairs
of rails behind that. And I am especially happy with the ark created
from the door top rails that integrate with the cubby top face frame
rail.

From inside the office straight into the desk top,

And a couple of close ups of the in/out boxes in the top. I used the
Incra iBox jig to cut assist with cutting the box joints for the
boxes.
The whistling boxes are a 1/4" white oak.
