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.

Ply will work fine but you might want to use some type of pad if it
will actually be used for writing. Some veneer plywood can have voids
and it's possible to push a ball point pen right through it.
