This is a great thread. I'm bringing it to the top because I have the exact same model and have questions about the cabinet. I need to replace veneer that is missing on the top of the arch and need to know the species of wood that was used so that I can purchase the correct veneer. Is it walnut or mahogany? I'm going to preserve as much of the original veneer and finish as possible. Also, the color of toner I need to match it up would be appreciated. Thanks very much!

Best regards<

Mike
