Veneer ID please!

Happy middle bit, everyone.

I’d like to do a bit of veneer splicing on the legs of an old marquetry dressing table. It’s more important to me that I match the grain than the color.

I’m thinking it’s mahogany as it’s close-grained and there are defo mahogany panels on the trunk. But then there’s a lighter wood with a similar grain in the cube pattern. Any thoughts?

Hi, :star_struck: Ithink its Cuban Mahogany ( the reason some of the other panels are lighter it may be down to sun bleaching ) Ihope this is of some help. Keep well . Brian D=

Thanks Brian! Never heard of it - looks right though. That would definitely square with the person this used to belong to. And of COURSE it’s rare and expensive. :smile:
