Seems the wood he's used is Beech, but any nice wood should be suitable as it's only a trim piece over the metal panel.
Maybe one of the more local members can suggest a good place for you to buy timber. If you wanted something special look for some curly grained Eucalyptus.
Some thoughts...
What other woods are around the amp? Do you want it to match or contrast with the cabinet it sits on? Dark timber like the computer model or light like the finished prototype? What woods do the local dealers stock anyway?
Cheers
Ian

Most powertools have sharp teeth.
People are made of meat.
Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.

Blackheart Sassafras Veneer
Hello
Please send me the sizes you want in a private message and I will send some photos of what I have available. We also have solid timber if that would be better.
