I was just at a customers home to do some modifications to this entertainment center, including making a mask for the Tv
I'm a bit stumped on what species of wood this is
What do u guys think?
From contributor La
Walnut? Is there some place you can scrape the finish off and use a cabinet scraper to get to the raw wood? Walnut has a distinctive smell. Also the natural color will help.
From contributor Ke
i would say walnut. has some nice figure in it too. look for quilted walnut
From contributor Ke
flat cut figured walnut
From contributor Jo
It is lightly figured, plain-sliced Walnut, center-balance matched.

Thx for everyones responses
My guess, color wise is that i will need to do a bleachtone and then dye it in
From contributor Jo
Don't forget about butternut aka white walnut. Same grain as walnut but just about the color your after.
From contributor Mi
Thx joel. Im leaning toward walnut and color im not really concerned about because i can tone it in
From contributor To
Butternut was my guess
From contributor ri
Definitely older walnut. Orange shellac as a seal coat will duplicate that color pretty well.
