Was just watching an appeals court video and the desks for the defense and prosecutors were very curved

How is wood made to curve like that while keeping it level/flat?

Not entirely seamless, but if you do a good job jointing the pieces and select boards that look very similar in color and grain, you can get close enough that most people won't notice them.

This tabletop is made of three different boards. No fancy joinery, they're just butt jointed with PVA glue.
