Are the burgandy over cherry considered a "custom" veneer?
No, it is not. It is simply a custom color over cherry. Normally a custom color like this is $200, but it would not be considered a "custom" build in that it is a standard cherry veneer.
Jim, I spoke with you earlier today about potentially wanting something in the "red" category. It's possible this may foot the bill! It is hard to tell how bright they actually are. I don't want something TOO bright but not too dull but still a red tone. Is the standard cherry fairly dull? Suggestions for something like these but maybe a tad light bright?
As Steve indicated, it is very difficult to take pictures in that they do look brighter than they really are. The color on these was deep rose/red with blue added. They look very rich.
Natural cherry is a caramel color that tends to redden somewhat with age.
If you wanted a brighter red, you would simply spray less dye. But you have to spray enough so that they do not look pink.
I hope I understood the question.
By the way, I liked this color so much, today we dyed the pair of HT4's (or whatever they will eventually be called) that we will showcase at AKFest here next week-end.
