I think that the top and sides maybe the same grainless white wood, possibly poplar, it was finished dark anyhow. Bob had a 38-62 that he fixed up and the top and sides looked pretty much like those on a Philco 620. I have no idea if they used the same on the front panel or whether they had to go with a harder wood like maple veneer, but probably not. In any event the marquetry that you see in pictures was a faux finish, basically a large decal that can flake off if the set was stored improperly, or disappear if it is stripped. Supposedly there is a guy making from panel decals for a 37-610 or 37-630 tombstone but I don't know about a 37-62 or a 38-62. I hate cabinets with such finishes, I have a Packard Bell which had something similar, and it's turning to dust too.
