acrosonic "rattan" music desk

[pianolover 88]

I like that Idea. Maybe even some nice veneer or what about a thin beveled 
mirror cut to size? Too cheesy? Yeah, I gave up on the vinyl idea. That 
sucked pretty bad once I had a look at it. Thanks for your help; you're the 
ONLY one who responded so I appreciate it all the more!

What about a piece of that 1/8", or less plywood cut to size.
I just don't like the idea, of vinyl.
Or if you could find a dead naugah (sp), somewhere. :-)  (Think Wurlitzer, I 
think that was the brand. Their usage, actually led to the extinction, of 
the naugah)
