A friend and I made that. Actually, he did the making... I used photoshop and a picture of an original top to determine the sizes and spacing, then I drew a lifesized replica on a piece of paper. My friend used a router and a bandsaw to create the parts for me. I believe it's as close to a duplicate of an original as possible.
The top piece was originally tongue and groove, and he could've replicated that too. Problem is, the original tongue is broken off inside the groove on my cabinet. We tried chiseling it out, and we tried melting the glue but we were afraid of doing more damage to the cabinet. So the new top will be braced with some triangle wood stock. It should work out fine. I'll be working on it tomorrow.
