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.

Veneer edging would work fine, but you might also consider if it's mostly
straight line edges involved, a band of 1/2" or so thick hardwood. I've used
that method a number of times and it comes out quite nicely. Also makes for
a more durable edge when it comes to bumps and bangs that a veneer edge
might not be able to handle.
