Zenith Stratosphere 1000Z Reproduction Cabinet
#7

You can find most any species in a veneer, it often just a question of price. One good thing about the 1000Z cabinet is that they tell you what species of wood were used in the cabinet in the advertising literature, not every manufacturer did that, and even if they did they did not do so with every model. Often you need to compare the wood on an existing cabinet and take a guess based on comparing it to samples of assorted species and cuts.
One you can't get is Cuban mahogany, not because of an embargo but because it's been a protected tree since the early 1920s, so you have to find another species that looks sort of similar from Africa or South America. But since most people can't tell the difference between black walnut and red oak there would maybe be be 1% of 1% of the population who would know the difference, and I'm not one of them.
