I would approach this in a rather more positive way. I would say to the owner that recreating the present finish is impossible, at least for me it is. However if you could accept something different but in keeping, I might be able to do something that will keep them going for a few more years.That something would be to strip of the vertical edge with a straight router cutter (suitably jigged) down to clean chipboard. Then apply a matching vertical grained veneer (I think it's supposed to be maple). Trim off to the existing moulding and apply an epoxy finish to seal it all in.I would suggest doing a small example to get thier approval.You could also offer a painted finish to be applied after cleaning up and sealing the chipboard. The colour might be taken from a cue in the host room.Food for thought.Brian
