Cherry Veneer

Try furniture makers near to where you live. What you want is really an offcut. I'm not convinced that its cherry the grain looks wrong. It will be difficult to get a match of grain and colour, you may have to buy something withn the right grain and experiment with different stains and varnishes to get the colour.

Decided to use hardwood ply and stain it with satin stain.

After tests it's looks like using walnut stain first and adding as a top a bit of mahog. brush on wax to bring back the red tone.  Other stains tried but they came our as poor match despite the tin colour "matching".

It all depends on the wood base colour. I’ve spent many an unhappy hour trying to match colours and I’ve never got very good at it.
