About Wooden tabletop 05

Wood Type: This is fundamental. Is it a light-colored wood like maple or birch, a rich, dark wood like walnut or mahogany, or something with a prominent grain like oak or ash? Exotic woods like teak, zebrawood, or bubinga would also lend specific visual qualities. Grain: Describe the pattern of the wood grain is it tight and uniform, or wide and flowing? Is it straight-grained, quarter-sawn, or highly figured (e.g., burled, curly, spalted)? Finish: How is the wood treated? Is it a natural, unfinished look; a smooth, matte oil finish; a glossy lacquer or polyurethane; a hand-rubbed wax; or a painted/stained finish? The finish significantly impacts both appearance and feel. Color/Tone: Beyond the inherent wood color, has it been stained to a different hue (e.g., dark cherry, weathered grey)? Has it developed a natural patina over time?
