Re Veneering Table Leaves With Rift White Oak Veneer - Matching The Color Of Existing Veneer

Posted by Bob Morgan, Pres. Veneer Factory Outlet/Wood Veneer Factory Outlet on 23rd Apr 2023

Q. I am re veneering table leaves for the rehab table I just bought and want to match the existing veneer as closely as possible. The leaves will be in the table daily for the foreseeable future.

Based on the attached picture, what species of veneer wood should I select?

I would also welcome a suggestion on stain color. Thank you! Ruth DeLange

A. This looks like rift white oak that has been stained to a brownish red color. https://store-958hs2yz.mybigcommerce.com/manage/dashboard

The trick is going to be to get the color that you want. Get some oil based stain or solvent based stain at Home Depot or Lowes.

Be aware that almost always, the color swatches that the manufacturer illustrates on the can or a color board, are lighter than when the stain is applied to the veneer. You will need to get a couple of stains that you can mix together in various amounts to come up with the color that you want.

Do some testing on a scrap sheet of veneer. Be sure to apply a finish to your test piece too, as a finish can change the color and tone.
