Hi guys,

Just new to woodworking. Can someone tell me what would be a timber for a
desk top. I am thinking of using 3/4" ply with the oak veneer finish.

Cheers



Unless you intend to use a desk pad oak does not lend to smooth
handwriting.

This may not be a problem with plywood. The veneer is so thin that the
pores aren't noticeable. (May in fact be filled by the glue.) One of the
reasons that oak plywood finishes differently from unfilled solid oak.
