You will notice that the top 2 inlays are bird's eye maple, which was installed by the OP. I'll be replacing these with book match burl, either mahogany or walnut.
I would leave the birdseye in there, believe it or not Philco did make some cabinets using figured maple. I can't say that this was factory built but if it was not it was very professionally done if it wasn't.
