Can you please help me with the following:

1) I need to completely replace the veneer sheet that wraps the top & sides. Can you tell me what type wood veneer this is/would be best?

2) The color looks like a Medium Walnut toner would be appropriate for entire unit with maybe just a few extra coats of Medium Walnut on the base or maybe a coat of Van Dyke + Medium Walnut. Would this be correct or what would be most original?

Thanks, Joe

Note: pic is from the gallery, I just included it as a reference.
