A client asked me to evaluate an old cherry table for her to see if I could make a leaf for it.
I explained over the phone that making a new cherry leaf for an old cherry table could pose "matching" problems (for me anyway), but I would stop by and take a look.
Does this look cherry to you? I don't think so. I think it looks more mahogany-ish. Especially the aprons. The top does have some weird color variegations, but I can't believe it's cherry.
