Hi Howler, I can't help with plans for a desk, but this link will show you a damn fine router bit set for making tambours without cloth and all the mucking around.

Hi Howler
I got the first edition of the Australian Woodsmith which featured a roll top desk. The plans are easy to follow and the end result is pretty good, I made one for my grand daughter.
