1) Since there has been no other interest in having a replacement grill, I don't want to be out $200+ in veneer just to have extras. Even just making 1 extra for someone would offset the cost of the veneer. At the moment, I don't have that much spending money.
2) I will only have access to this CNC machine for about 4 more weeks. Once I graduate, I won't be going back to my schools woodshop. So I make 10 or so templates and just keep those on hand. I can always buy veneer later, glue it on, and carefully cut the veneer out from the back side of the grill. It will be more work.. but it's really the best option for me at the moment.

Fellow younger collector/restorer here. I'm picking up a large selection of uprights (mostly parts machines, trashed cabinets, etc) and no doubt there will be some oak machines that need to be broken up. In this case, your 1a grill would be super authentic! I'll be picking these machines up in late may. Sorry it's not sooner, But I'd love to give you a hand. It would certainly save you some money...
