Default Desk top

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.


That can work. You can also put a solid oak band around the edge to make it
look solid wood, not ply. You can use a wider band to make it look thicker
also. Just be sure to get the alignment right so you don't sand through the
plywood veneer as it is very thin.
