That's Mike's Stromberg cabinet isn't it? I thought that was some species of rosewood, the Canadian General Electric KL500 cabinets used Santos Rosewood as a trim piece, which has red rays in the grain. Some Americans think that they were made by Ingraham like some Emerson and American G.E cabinets were, but I very much doubt that. I have a table that looks like they used the Brazilian kind, I need to do some work to it, someone did a crappy refinish job on it at one time. It looks like the grain in the veneer is pretty straight along that edge, not many rays in the grain, I would think that cutting a parallel strip off that edge and patching it that way would work best rather then trying to fit and fit one just at the back corner.
