Bob;
Did you find some figured walnut for the top layer to mimic the original? I'm thinking that if one could find one of those router plate attachments for a Dremmel that would work, with the right sort of bit, preferably a trim bit with a bearing to follow the side of the cutouts. Of course cutting them out by hand, followed by a file, emory boards, etc. works too, but you have to be carful not to file too much, and keep the file parallel to the cutouts.
Regards
Arran
