I've installed the desktop and this big set of shelves is now complete, as well as a bedframe that can double as seat or stage base
A cedar and hardwood desktop. The frame is oregon with the odd piece of Australian hardwood, and the rest of the shelves are mostly pine, kauri, and 'island pine' from old floorboards as well as a few bits of meranti planks
The desk closer.
All the wood has been finished with linseed oil, a natural environment- and artist-friendly polymer. Colour is darker and more muted than the main alternative we use, polyurethane. It's imparts a really nice texture and feel when you touch it, and you don't have to evacuate the area while it dries (French polishing with shellac is also possible, but that's a really high maintenance surface).
Shelves for the record collrection and an alcove for guitars and instruments

Below are some pictures of it all during construction
Looking cool with plants and instruments and records - all that's left to do is attach the desk after I trim a corner a tiny bit
With Lyle and Sabrina

The big set of shelves I've been building along the wall at Sabrinas are almost finished now, and in use(so I'll get a few photos of it filled with records and indoor plants soon), while I finish off a few pieces like...
A desktop - the last piece of the shelving - sitting on the bedframe for a single mattress which doubles as the base for a stage - so its got lots of bracing.
The desk straight after an application of linseed oil
The workshop out the back that Andy, Shamus, Made and I have put together, with the bedframe before the extra braces went in
A desktop to fit at the end of the shelves - I'll fill the gaps with sawdust and glue and probably trim the tail of the piece of cedar(the L shaped, large piece)
A frame to support a mattress or home stage
putting in screws
record shelves
i'm making a set of shelves for Sabrina - this is 4/5 of the the frame
