The reason that I posed the question is that I am building a custom cabinet for my own amusement with a few different types of veneer. (Something a little exotic). I want to use a very stable base wood that won't be as susceptible to warping or excessive shrinkage or expansion.
Thank you all for your help.

I've also seen some cabinets from other makers with gumwood panels- if the grain is well chosen it can look pretty damm good.
