OT, sorta - laminate
(1/2) > >>
cbmeeks:
I have a large piece of plywood (rough grade).  It is 6.5' long and about 32" deep.

I want to make a computer desktop out of it.

What do you recommend covering it with?  laminate?

Thanks!

Tailgunner:
How rough is it? Do you know what grade it is?
Avery:
I have seen large sheets of counter top type material out there that might work.  You can also buy veneer, real hardwood cut a 1/16 or 32nd of an inch or so think, but depending on what you mean by roungh, you might be better off if you glued a quarter inch thick piece of high end plywood to what you've got.  It'll be a bit pricey (at some point you stop paying for wood and start paying for smooth) but I think you are in for a mess of work.
cbmeeks:
thanks guys.

by rough, I mean the stuff that is used for walls.  Real rough.  As in don't run your hand down it.

I would really like to use it somehow because it was free.

Ah, childhood memories....

A piece of lumber like that in combination with some scrap 2x4 bracing would probably have been fashioned into a ramp to jump our bikes off of.....
