How about the (in)famous Amazon Door Desk? They used to build desks for their offices from a door.
- defrost 2y agoJust don't let Bezos attach the legs .. by all accounts he was a shitty carpenter at best and the wobble factor was high. Nothing wrong with doors as desk, just get the framing solid. https://www.aboutamazon.com.au/news/workplace/how-a-door-became-a-desk-and-a-symbol-of-amazon https://www.aboutamazon.com.au/news/workplace/how-a-door-bec... Half inch thick solid kiln dried door sized jarrah hardwood is even better .. but that's likely not to hand for most and expensive to order if not.

Hardwoods make great table tops, I've always had jarrah workbenches and general desktops and used other woods for 'fancy' tables .. but then I'm in W.Australia and used to recover treefall for slabbing in sheds and using in Brady Drums etc. (I knew Chris Brady back in the day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55SXxWz0Vpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55SXxWz0Vpg) > Is this available outside of Australia? Significant tonnages of it were blocked, shipped to England as ballast and used to pave the streets - as a consequence quantities are still kicking about the UK after being recovered and repurposed.
