Check out a company called, “Wood by you”.
They have unfinished roll top desks that you can finish yourself.
I find that a little stain mixed with boiled linseed oil provides a beautiful finish. Or just stain it and shoot it with a clear coat lacquer.

Do you prefer lacquer? I always want varnish on anything that has hands frequently touching or possible moisture from coasters etcetera. I has some wonderful red mahogany kitchen cabinets I had to completely refinish as the lacquer finish failing pulled stain off along with it.

I find a moisture resistant varnish and go for about six coats.

Got me puzzled now
