nice solution bent, no one will ever know.

How did you attach the new top to the old?  

Is the secondary wood pine?

A very good solution, and it looks wonderful.

You turned a nightmare into a dream. 
Great result, Bentlyj! The new top matches the rest of the cabinet perfectly, and it looks cohesive.

Did you consider planing down the oak backer (and maybe some of the walnut too) and replacing the removed material with something more stable (like MDF with walnut veneer on the underside)? Or do you think that would have ended up warping too?
Thanks for the additional details. It’s always interesting to me to hear more of the rationale for decisions.
The piece looks great!

Very nice work and fix.

Sounds like either to much crap in the way or nothing square and plumb. Good Luck.
