I would like to freshen the look of my workstation by applying a carbon fibre skin to this desktop. This application means that the carbon fibre won't need to have any structural strength, merely cosmetic. I'd like to use a large-pattern cloth, like spread-tow 15mm 2/2 twill. You can see from the photos that the desk is a boomerang shape, with a number of different curves. The dimensions of the desk are [EDIT: Changed specs - it's larger, critically, in the max depth] 43 1/4" max depth, 88 5/8" width, and approximately 1" thick, with a few other contours shown (or, 1.1M x 2.25M x 25mm). I'd like it to have a high-gloss finish, or possibly, a nice, even matte finish with some texture. The substrate is some kind of fibre-reinforced resin. I'd like to wet lay the CF on the desktop, and wrap it around underneath just enough so it is cosmetically pleasing (though not cover the underside). 

Oh no, I no longer feel bad - just tremendously motivated and now empowered to build more stuff. But I appreciate the advice and encouragement. In fact, I worked on technique after technique until I got my skills to where I'd feel comfortable with doing the interior trim in my car. I'm REALLY happy with these results, even with the blemishes. Like the desk, they have a delightfully handmade quality to them, even though the finished quality of the trim is FAR better than the desk. I still have some shaping to do, though the fit of the gauge cluster piece, for example, is much better than the pics show. I love this stuff. My employees think the desk is outstanding and they all want one now. Haha!

WOW! That looks great.The Carbon looks good in a satin finish, classy.
Your doing really well. Well done!
