4+ months later...

I am working on Rons radio.

I am repairing all the veneer issues and cant seem to find a great match. On the left side is a nice wavy walnut pattern but on the right is a plain strait-grained veneer.

Do you guys think that is factory? to have 2 unmatched veneers?

Next is the front trim. There is no veneer so you can see the glued layers. I dont think it was ever veneered.

Do you guys think I should veneer it?

Mainly I need to know what veneer you guys think is a good match. If I have to fully replace both sides thats fine.

of course Ron is the deciding factor but recommendations are welcome.
