I would imagine, though, that fabricating a walnut plywood would be quite a bit more expensive and timeconsuming...?

I have a good friend who is a professional woodworker who grew up in
Hungary and learned woodworking the old fashioned way. He likes to
make cabinets with walnut plywood. He cuts edging material about
1/8" thick on a table saw out of solid walnut and glues it on after
making sure the edges are perfectly smooth by using a joiner. He
also always uses solid wood for trim, but uses plywood for any large
or long pieces such as sides or tops.
It can be done using solid pieces, but I'm not sure of the
technique. Something to do with gluing together several strips with
grain running in opposite directions using biscuits.
