The desk surface? It's a piece of veneered particle board from Ikea. I think the veneer is oak, although it doesn't make a very good desk surface with the open (and unfilled) grain. Thanks very much. I guess I should've taken a photo in the first place instead of trying to be clever.

It's actually a scan! I'm not too upset about the detail since it's about as good as my camera could get it, but it does kill the contrast. http://iforce.co.nz/i/kfa5xkzt.3z3.jpg Here's a huge photo with my disgusting greasy thumb for scale.

Just a couple of days ago I bought a conference tabletop, veneered mdf with rounded 4mm edging, since I found it cheaper than it would've been to buy just the veneer itself. The only downside was that I had to actually go into the place. It's like a vision of hell.
