Hi I'm going to see this table and from my research I've seen it being attributed to Bruno Matthson. Anyone have any ideas about it? I've also seen it advertised as Bendt Winge and "in the style of...." Bruno Matthson. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It is Bendt Winge for Kleppes Mobelfabrik, Table model #2 (#4 has a wider opening on the side).
The Maria table by Mathsson is somewhat similar, but a different folding gateleg table design. There are a few knockoff designs of the Maria table out there.

It is indeed a nice design. Should be teak veneer, with stained beech legs.
Also take a look at the end edges of both drop leafs to see if there is either a male or female brass connector. I had a pair of these tables that had this interlocking brass set, which allowed for creation of a single long banquet table. Nice idea of adding a simple addition to a single table design to allow for more flexibility in the setup.
If both end edges are smooth, it was sold as a single table. If you have half of a brass connector, then your table was originally a twin, but separated from its sibling some time ago. Therapy sessions for your table may be in your future.

I agree with the maker and designer, but the banquet table I own has one gate leg per leaf not two as the pictures above. I believe the drop leaf table you are thinking of buying was made to stand alone and is not part of a banquet.
I love the table, I hope you will too.
You need to carefully select dining chairs because the tables gate leg interferes with most chair legs.

Thanks Amazake! Yours are gorgeous! I'll have to really consider the chairs, with my chair obsession I won't find that a chore!

I would say that different woods do have different visual density, colour, and texture.
For example, dark, intricately grained woods like rosewood definitely seem like they have a high visual density. Same for burl wood and various figured woods. A very light and plain wood like maple has a low "visual density".
Colour is obviously different.
And texture is quite different as well. Oak is very coarse textured, same for teak. Maple has a very fine texture. Something like lacewood can have an appearance that gives an illusion of a woven texture.
