Robbie I had to go double check on mine, the top, base, dial faceplate and grillework are white wood. The main body is veneer. I would use natural walnut to stain the white wood and tone the veneer to match. I need to do mine also so that is what I will do, if you look at the pictures on my link of the 38-2 and unknown radio I may not be the best at cabinet restoration but I'm not the worst. It appears that the top edge is darker than the faceplate also seemed darker so you may want to stain these a dark walnut but that would be a judgement call on how you like the look.
