Solid wood desk/table top ideas

[core70]

Hi,


I'm building a simple tube / pipe clamp desk, like this:

Can someone more experienced suggest some ideas for the table top?

I've seen everything from using 4-6 individual wood boards, solid wood doors, wood panels etc.
Ideally I'd want one smooth surface with no raised bits or kinks.
Approximate size = 150cm x 70cm

Any ideas welcome.
If you are allowed to post any links to suppliers even better.

Thanks

I used a bamboo panel for my desk, with a hard wax oil coating.
I'm very pleased with it, though it's much less rustic than the effect in your photo.

OSB board. Two layers of 18mm glued together will make a good solid table top.

School lab hardwood bench tops if you can find them

Or slate?
