After many delays and other issues I have finished it the best I can. I used maple veneer for the wrap, glued and clamped the bottom on one side and slowly worked it over the top by using my wife's steam iron, little by little. Do not know how to replace the front panel with new veneer so just sanded the inside and applied medium walnut on outer and the wrap. It didnt come out as good as I hoped, but, thats why you do things to learn.
Thanks to Terry and all and Steve Davis for the ideas and hints.
