I would go to the Albert Constantine's website. and have a look at their veneer gallery to compare it with what they have. I'm guessing it's zebrano, or zebrawood, but it may be may be something like orientalwood. I would also have a look at what they have for eucalyptus veneer which can look similar sometimes. Unless someone has an original ad describing the cabinet, and what veneers were used, we can only make an educated guess.

Arran
