I think it was French walnut in particular, what cut doesn't matter. The grilles used in the 1928-29 "Lowboy" style console cabinets are almost as notorious for breakage as the Philco 20 cathedrals are. I think that the solution is to acquire some Baltic birch plywood of a suitable thickness, and then laminate it with some French walnut veneer, and then cut it out. Although if might be easier to check with Steve Davis about this, it's such a common problem that he may be replicating replacement grilles for these by now.
