Hi all! I just got a Philco 370 chairside that's going to need some serious veneer help for the top surface. It's in really rough shape with large pieces of veneer missing:

For reference, here is a picture of what the veneer should look like:

It sure seems like my best bet would be to replace the top veneer entirely - but how exactly do I achieve the diamond effect? It looks like I need a set of at least four matched pieces so that the grain will line up.

Any suggestions on what veneer to buy and where to buy it so that I can recreate the original look?

FWIW, I've previously ordered European Walnut veneer from here:

Thanks for any help!
