you mean the artificial distressing?

The color/pattern. What would I search on?

Skip or circular sawn wood looks more authentic since the lines are theoretically from a circular saw.

lol. True. I just type.

Don’t have a drink on the desk. I’ve seen table tops in stores with that distressing and nothing will sit flat on them. Plan on covering it with glass.

For a desk, it would likely be called distressed or antiqued. Try Hooker Furniture.

Thank you. What color would you describe it as? Light cherry?

Pine. With knots.

No one but a home carpenter is making a desk out of wood planks. This is wood scrap likely that was used to assemble this item you have.

Look for a desk made of reclaimed wood.

Check out PB’s Lenora Writing Desk.

Room and Board carries a couple desk styles in spalted sugarberry wood which has movement and knots. I've purchased fabric furniture (couch, chairs) and a metal bed from them, but nothing out of wood.

Maybe consider looking for a second hand distressed antique piece and strip and stain the exact color you want.

The “pattern” is not really a pattern; it’s random width. They would use the widest width cut from the tree, but also all the other thinner cuts. So, in old houses, each board is a different width. On the other hand, for newer houses, flooring is ordered in 3.25” width, for example. You can replicate the random width look by ordering a box of 3.25”, a box of 5”, and a box of 2.5”. This doesn’t seem to be for what you are trying to do.

Sorry I didn’t explain well. I am trying to find a home office desk to match my dining table and chairs. Don’t know what to search on.

Perhaps there's a brand stamp under the table or the chairs if you no longer have your purchase receipts or recall the store info.

Google Amish Furniture.

Maureen, please don't use "antique" and "strip and stain" in the same sentence, it makes me cringe.
