I agree with your choices, Kirk. Steve, do you concur? Now that you're here in this thread I would be most interested in hearing your opinion.

I think the place in Louisville is where Steve gets his veneer. So far I haven't really needed any veneer for any of my projects, but it is good to know that I can acquire some not far away. (Louisville is only an hour or so away from me.)

The French walnut looks perfect for the top. It might be okay for the sides as well, since I believe you are only patching missing veneer on the sides at the back edges, correct, Kirk?

Just think, when this cabinet is done it will look better than my 41-788...but my 41-788 does retain its original finish...too bad it has that chip out of the Oriental veneer above the speaker...
