Re: Cone shaped outer skin.
John,
I created a tool like the one below
to make the cone shaped skin for the desk.
You must define a tool path on your cube in the Display Part Editor/Contour and either make sure your tool is big enough to remove all excess material or cut the excess away before applying the tool.
This is a cone created with the tool I show above
