What happens here
Carefully measure the dimensions of the corner desk area. Use a track saw (or circular saw with a guide) to precisely cut the live-edge walnut slab into two pieces that will form the L-shaped desk. The video shows cutting a section of the desk to allow clearance for the door swing, a necessary modification for full functionality. Once cut, position the walnut pieces on top of the previously installed cabinet bases. Use wood glue and clamps to create a strong mitered joint between the two desk pieces. Secure the desk to the cabinet bases and wall studs with screws for stability.
Goal: Cut the live-edge walnut slab to fit the corner desk area and install it securely on top of the built-in cabinets.
