I have a newly assembled fluted oak laminate desk with two side drawers and an open middle section where a third drawer used to be. I need more leg room, so I need someone handy with furniture to cut out the middle plank and finish it so it looks like it came that way. What I need done: 1) Remove the middle plank of wood from the centre section, 2) Leave the side panels around the cavity in place, 3) Fix the cut plank securely to those side panels so the desk stays sturdy. Add brackets etc if needed, 4) Finish all cut edges so they look clean and professional. Cutting the laminate will expose the inside, so I need it edged or sealed in a matching oak finish, with no visible raw board, chips or gaps, 5) Take away any offcuts and leave the room clean. What I'm looking for: Someone with carpentry or furniture modification experience + Your own tools and edging materials, with the colour match agreed + A neat finish that matches the existing oak tone. The desk is already assembled and in place in my home office. Photos attached show the front, the middle section and the underside. **Open to suggestions for how this would be best approached** Product manual for reference in case useful: https://www.luxoliving.com.au/cdn/shop/files/LTTILDA.pdf?v=7826515514122478049
