I'm not a huge wood expert, but Newton Moore had stacks of beautifully clear, beams of different woods.
These definitely didn't look ratty. Apparently, a number of cabinet makers go there for supplies.
I'll need to stop by MacBeath sometime.
I need a small desk/table for my room, and want to make something not out of MDF or from Ikea.
Not sure on what wood to use--any suggestions?
Part of me is tempted to buy a slab and stick legs on it Nakashima style.
However, I think that a dovetailed lateral rail would be the right way to do things...which I have no confidence in doing.
