It is hard to know without images, but my feeling would be that if you have a beautiful table that you want to be the star of the show, you will want to make the rest of the room as subtle as possible. Id steer clear of similar materials. Art galleries are painted all white so that the artwork is displayed without competition from the rest of the building. The choice of material for your bench top might well take on a similar strategy.

There are more expert peeps in kitchens here than I, but using a square tabletop coated with multiple coats of marine varnish might fit? Otherwise custom made.

Bump.

Hi Andrew, I think you are asking what type of timber you can use to match your floors. You may like to consider either Karri, ( or Spotted Gum, Nyatoh or Tasmanian Blackwood) as these are readily available hardwood timbers in this varigated tone and grain pattern you have. It is also worth noting that Timbers that start out with red in them also actually fade over time to turn this nutty colour. Once you decide on a spiecies, your Cabinet Maker may also be able to hand pick colours to get the closest match. Hope this helps; regards Malcolm.
