Fantastic work! I love the warmth of wood.

Did you say that your cabinetry panels are faced in the same way?

itsamoto,

No, the cabinet facing is the original.  Thought about changing the face on our original fridge, but don't really see how to do that; on a new fridge, we could probably do it.  I did replace the kick plate under the seat with a baltic birch panel.

But as I have added shelves, I have used the same baltic birch for some consistency.  We love the light inside the EVC, so the intent has always been to use brighter/lighter materials.  For instance, the galley window shade broke, so we just took it out and replaced it with sheers (for light and privacy) on a tension rod.  Easy to take the whole thing down when we drive for visibility.  Will probably do the same for the sliding door now, attaching sheers with integral magnets sewn in.
