[QUOTE="Matt_B, post: 311515, member: 12071"] Gwar72, any existing veneers were just lightly sanded and then varnished with a clear satin exterior quality varnish. The new wood that went in was just a good quality oak veneer on plywood. If I was being really critical of myself I should have tried to source an English oak veneer as the grain on that would have been much tighter as opposed to the quite open grain on what I bought, and would have matched the existing a little better! Also the new veneer had to be stained slightly to make it a bit darker so it matched the existing wood. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
