8" or 9" material whatever it isl has the potential to move about 1/8 shrinkage wise in the summer compared to when colder and damper cross grain so not sure how they deal with that, is it on a metal backer or something??

Will run a few when there is time already planed to maybe cherry and birdseye maple. The original if it is on my truck is a verneer not a solid 1/8 as you say. So I imagine it is about .030 or less, veneer has got thinner over the years.

I have plans of doing mine pretty much the same out of solid wood by faking
out my plainer to make the bezel and using my router with a template from the original plus the glove box.
