Is it my impression only or you work faster after falling off the roof? (no I am not suggesting you do that again, the effect might not necessarily be cumulative).

Attempted to match the color by hand and not taped off the grill for toner

The middle section looks right, honey colored.

Today I got to toning the cabinet arch and face.

Then clear and the 2 week wait.

That looks much better than many of the 80's I've seen refinished.

Go back to sleep. I have my parent's lawn sprinkler pump that is under my window.
What excuse do you have to be up this time of the night?

I'm up at 5:50 like clockwork every day. I take naps when pain killers run out of juice though.

What color toners did you end up using for this?  I am doing a 81B and will need something similar.

Thanks, Bill

This is where I went with my JR.

IIRC the center was dark walnut and the outside was extra dark walnut. For the sides I went a coat less of extra dark so it is in between the two. May not be correct, but I like the way it looks.

And yes, I need to dust.

Demerol, ask for it by name.
