Abstract
A desk mat for a desk or other piece of furniture. The mat includes a plurality of layers of wood, which are by nature biodegradable. The top layer is a veneer and is of wood in its natural condition. The other layers include a cork layer and a chip board layer, but the veneer is continuous and integral wood. A glue, which is practically degradable, glues the layers together, and the finished mat is coated with a finish coating. The coating protects the layers and enables the finished mat to be bent or curved without cracking or other debilitation of the mat.
