I got to thinking after my post yesterday, but that larger veneer patch just wasn’t looking right. Not only was there the issue of the splice line looking obvious, but the original veneer on that panel is obviously not walnut. I had matched the top veneer when I ordered the walnut, but these upper side panels are different. My next thought was that it might be red oak. Anyway, I took a sample into the store during my lunch break today, and found out that it’s maple. So I got some maple veneer (a much larger piece this time). Fortunately, maple is much cheaper than walnut.
