Can anyone tell me what type of wood this is? I am trying to build a matching table. The top looks to be veneered with hardwood edging and solid hardwood legs. Any help wood be appreciated.

I'm trying to build a matching table. Is there a less expensive wood that somewhat resembles teak?

From where I sit it looks like sun bleached walnut. The table top looks like it was veneered, but the legs look like they are solid. Teak is a very dense wood and would be pretty heavy. Try sanding the inside surface of the rebate on the legs and see if the wood doesn't get darker.

I'm not sure what wood that is, but you might look at African Mahogany or even Eucalyptus to match it.
