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! cbmeeks |

How rough is it? Do you know what grade it is? |

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. |

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. |

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..... |
