I made the curved section using Flexboard and supported it by a ribbed structure.

The desk will have shaker panels. On the curved section I'm going to cheat with the panels. The Flexboard has a smooth masonite type surface that will be the field of the panel. I used 1/4" MDF that I cut out rectangles in which will simulate the stiles and rails. This needed to be glued onto the curved structure. Used about 50 clamps and some cauls.

Amazingly.... I still had 6 clamps left over
