Laminate: The 'good book', "The Dobsonian Telescope", mentions the use of 'Ebony Star' by Wilsoncraft & the Quarry Finish range of colours from Laminex.
While Ebony Star is available in Oz, it is not cheap. Quarry Finish range is a discontinued range, now only available as off-cuts or the occassional odd sheet. Another option, though it too is discontinued, is the 'Dimensions' range from Formica. Available as per the Laminex stuff.
Off-cuts of these are usually available from kitchen and cabinet makers. I don't list any in particular as there are so many around the country, never too far from anyone. A good start is either a local newspaper or the Yellow Pages.
The one thing in being discontinued is that the colours available may not be to your particular likeing. My philosophy here is 'you are looking through the scope, not at it. Such is life'.
