Hi All

I want to do a few mods (shelves etc) in my duetto and in an ideal world I would like new wood I put in to match the kitchen top. Does anyone have any ideas what I need to find, or anything thats a close match (even if its a thin piece which can be used to cover something stronger?

Thanks very much!

I have no doubt some one will think of a better way of matching the wood to the worktops but it be worth having a look in the DIY stores.

Try a saw mill or cabinet maker. Both would be able to tell you the type of wood used.

Why not use a cheap furniture board to make your shelf’s and vinyl wrap them

This company has a great selection of wood grain and you can send for samples in something similar to what you think you may have ,

I have used them and had a great service
