Default Desk panels are finished!

After a couple of months off, mostly spent getting the junk room in the house ready for baby #1, I'm back on to the desk project.

Picking up where I left off, I needed 2 more panels for the back of the cabinets and one to join the two cabinets together.
Well, they're done. Have a look at the pictures for proof!
The most annoying/time consuming part was sanding the joints on the panels so that they were smooth and level. Most of them were close, but a couple required a LOT of work. Maybe I should investigate a furniture scraper for times like these. Probably a lot quicker and easier and most likely gives a better result.

Now I'm on to the legs of the table so that I've got something to mount those panels to. The wood is cut and all I've got to do is lay out, and cut, the mortices. Shouldn't be too hard, right? Right!

Cheers
