I've seen orientalwood mentioned in sales brochures of Rogers/Deforest Crosley radios describing the cabinets but I've never actually found out what it was. I guess that the Philco furniture catalog, and possibly the sales literature, would have mentioned what species of veneer were used. I think that I may have ended up with some in board form from a pallet I ripped apart. They also used a lot of what they called "Australian Walnut" which I managed to find in narrow strips, it looks a little like ribbon mahogany but brownish grey in colour.
