Howard,
Thanks for the encouragement. My father-in-law has about 800 acres in TN with much of it woodland. I'm sure I can get them to find me an old birds-eye maple that has fallen down or lost large limbs in recent years. The finish from that wood is a darker honey color and should match nicely with the rest of the interior. In fact, I can closely match the color of the original with that particular wood. All I need is about a 2"X12"X8' piece to section and work with.
Thanks again for getting me started thinking in this direction (but I'll still be on the lookout for an original just to have "in case").
