Hi all,
First off, apologies for the length of this post. Secondly, I've got a few questions regarding a dining table and chair 'set'.
The client wants me to produce a table top and two chairs to match the existing set. The idea is to replace the top with solid wood (rather than the current veneered surface) and to make it bigger.
Seeing as I'm making the items to match the existing ones I was wondering if you could advise me on the wood I should use. The pictures aren't terribly clear (apologies for that) and the colour maybe different on every monitor but I thought the colour was similar to Euro walnut. Too expensive for this project unfortunately so I'm looking for a substitute that would match the colour and grain pattern e.g Beech w/stain
Do you have any suggestions for this or what the wood actually is?
Let the slideshow commence;
What veneer do you think this is? Judging by the open grain pattern I'd suggest oak but a more professional opinion would be better.
This is probably the most accurately coloured photo.
Sorry again for the length of the post.
I appreciate any help,
BH
