To be picky picky correct, the dashes were burled maple not walnut.
Several people have made beautiful furniture finish dashes with an
optional door.
Years ago CAT had a tech tip on making dashes. The guy even
made the door with hidden hinges and a touch latch. Except for
the seam you couldnt tell.
Be careful about using solid wood that may be prone to cracking
over the years. That's why Sunbeam used laminated plywood
with the maple venier.

Has anyone made their own burled walnut cubby door for their dash? Does the
mismatched wood grain look funky?
