Is he also a member of a Christian rock band because I thought that was who the desk was commissioned for?

Yep, that sounds like him (and he'd mentioned the charity auction idea a while back).
A few folks above were asking about the design and such. We don't have blueprints available (and for the han carb section, obviously, the RPF has you covered there!) and for things like glass height and whatnot, those are all things we considered and discussed with the client when building it. We even considered putting in drawers (like the guy in the other thread is doing) but needed the back to be more open to allow for a wider chair.
Anyway, it's funny to see the thread back from the depths... been a while but we still get emails all the time about the Han desk so people are still discovering it. Wonders of the internet
thanks again for all the kind words on the piece!

Forget the desk, I just want the block to go with my front piece I bought years ago. Still sitting in storage!

It looks like Fandango and Wired have both recently run stories about the carbo-desk on their sites and there are some new print stories coming as well. Guess that's why the photos are popping back up.
It was designed/created by myself and Richard Riley (with Rich doing most of the hard work!) for musician Mark Hall.
It's a one of a kind (like a lot of our movie-inspired furniture art ) and we've got some really cool updates coming to the site in the next few months regarding some other desks, tables and highly-themed elements like that one.
Just last week, we had a piece that Richard built seen on Extreme Makeover, Home Edition on ABC and we'll be adding pics of that to the site soon too.
glad folks still dig this one

Sad thing is with all the **** I have on my desk. You wouldn't be able to see Han through the glass.

Yeah, I've been staring at my HIC on the floor of the garage for a couple years now. Just waiting until someone comes up with an easy to build box to go with it.
I did a little digging awhile ago but never really found a set of easy plans. It seems that the accurate dimensions of the actual HIC box were just hard enough to fabricate that it made it a PITA.
I think this desk idea is a great one. I may revisit it one of these days.
