Thanks. The glass idea might work but I really wanted a wood top... I
don't
do any writing, just typing. I don't chop meat on it or anything like
that... just wish this would have turned out better.

And you can still have it. If the urethane does not work out, sand it
smooth and put on a couple of coats of shellac. The nice thing about
shellac is that it adheres to just about anything. Just keep your dripping
soda cans off of it.
