On what part of the 41-788's cabinet? From the photo in the gallery it looks like French walnut on most of it, possibly stump walnut near the knobs if that portion is real, do you have an photos of your cabinet?

Thanks, I believe your answer has gotten me close to what I needed.

Took me awhile to research similar woods and get back to you. Thanks again
