Is this real wood or veneer, on this table top?
The use of distinct solid-wood edging strongly suggests veneer
&quot;Bookmatching&quot; (mirrored grain) is not a guarantee of that, as it can be done in solid wood, but the close match of 5 pieces strongly suggests veneer. So it may just be veneered both sides. When solid wood is &quot;multi-part bookmatched&quot; the thickness of the wood (and change of grain in that thickness) means the match on faces not simply &quot;cut and opened&quot; is not close. To have that close of a match suggests thin slices - veneer.
