I have three blond sets. One is made from Korina AKA Limba wood. The other two, including this set, are limed oak. There are some worn areas on mine so I can see the various layers. The cabinet is made from plywood with red oak veneer. Over that is a thin whitewash. Over that is a golden tinted lacquer.
Here's the Korina.
