I saw an ad on a ‘for sale’ page for a 914 rare wood dash insert (factory or dealer option)? Is there such an animal?

Does anyone have a good high quality picture of this dash insert? Or any info? Wood type?

My other gig (you know, the one that pays the bills) is cabinet making. I do some quality reproduction work, besides the industrial and high-end residential woodworking.

I would love to do something nicer than my boring, cheap looking crap insert material, that’s starting to curl in the corners. But I would like to stick to something that at least looks like it might have been a dealer option.

I’ve seen a .com biz flogging an insert kit, but I would be totally pissed if I got a piece of masonite, with MACtac stuck on it.
