Norms desk top calls for several boards to be biscuited and glued together. I was thinking about using 3/4" Oak plywood instead, and gluing 1" thick by 2" wide Oak breadboard edges on all 4 sides. I haven't decided if I will biscuit or tongue groove the edges. My question is, -- would 3/4" Oak plywood be adequate for a desktop? I'm concerned about the thinness of the veneer. I guess I'd lightly use 200 to
250 grit sand paper with 4 or 5 coats of poly applied if I go with the plywood. If I go with solid Oak I would need 7 6 foot by 3/4" by 8" Oak boards which would be quite pricey. Thanks for your suggestions.- posted
