Hi - Never done this sort of stuff before so here it goes,
I'm planning on making my own desk out of a length of wooden kitchen worktop (Roughly 256cm and ideally oak (Could just get 2.5m)).
However, I've got a few questions:
1) The worktop will be about 15cm above a radiator, will the heat from this effect the wood in any way? (Warping? Dry it out?)
2) Would I have to oil the desk?
3) Is there any other sort of wood that would be more suited than Oak?
4) Any pictures of your custom desks?
