Had a fun little project this past week making an office desk out of concrete. Bone white in color, it turned out pretty cool. Not 100% done in these pics, but i’ll update once I do the finishing touches. Help me build my SEO by going to [www.thielstudios.com](http://www.thielstudios.com) and leave comments or something! enjoy! Fresh out of the mold: [ATTACH=CONFIG]23459[/ATTACH] Close-up of the surface texture after some polishing. I added mica flakes to the mix and it has a subtle sparkle in the sun…which you can’t see here. [ATTACH=CONFIG]23461[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]23460[/ATTACH] Legs look solid, but are actually hollow. [ATTACH=CONFIG]23462[/ATTACH] Working with concrete is pretty awesome… i’m having a blast! ---
