Parkinson, you should check out the Black Forest Wood Company. They have all sorts of cool types of wood there. Maybe your next stand could be made from purpleheart? Or a type of ebony? Very nice stuff, can also be very expensive.

You may find it difficult or impossible to buy the quilted maple in plywood. Usually that sort of work is hand veneered. Its a bit challenging work to do if youe not experienced with it. You may be able to get a shop to make up the door panels for you if you don't want to takle it. Figured woods and veneers are very high dollar stuff so you wouldn't want to mess it up. You can source veneers from online sellers and the shipping is not so exhorbitant as for solid woods.
The walnut is much easier to get and less costly. Black Forrest is one local source as is Windsor Plywood. You can also try P J White. They claim to be a wholsale only dealer, but I've heard of people buying small quantities through them for home projects at much better prices than elsewhere.
