So finishing my next project I had to do a massive glue up.

If you can see the rough dark brown bit of roofing lumber near the bottom of the piccie. I had a load of that left over after having a loft converted so I re-sawed it down into 50 slats and made my new desk top which is over 3 metres long.

The whole thing was made from surplus free wood.

Here you see the glue up. It will need a good sanding when done.

That thing ended up being heavier than I thought it would be. LOL.\

er... That's a good point which I hadn't thought off. :oops:

I was hoping that the would has been holding my roof up for the last 60 years so would be pretty stable. May not. #-o
 
I think you would have needed far more actual clamps for that job as it may not all stick.
Good luck, you must have a huge office! lol

Yeah you may be lucky. Worst case scenario is the mitre comes apart on the corner- time will tell.
