The new door panel was cut and mahogany veneer applied to both sides. The hinge brackets were installed on the edges and after a fair amount of adjusting, it seems to fit and swing up and down nicely. I still have to glue on the trim, install a latch thingy (there is a spring loaded ball in the cabinet that fits into a metal disc on the top edge of the door), add the rest of the pulls and install the hinged arm that keeps the door from going too far down.

I have to do some more experimenting with stains but I have gotten the raw veneer color much closer to the rest of the cabinet with some gel mahogany stainon a test strip of the veneer. I stripped the top of the cabinet to get a better feel for where I need to be. Toner will also help even colors out. Once stripped the top looks pretty good.
