Wednesday, October 20.
Today, after sanding, I stained the main body of the cabinet because the new veneer was so much lighter than the rest of the radio. I also found, to my dismay, that where I had to replace veneer on the front grillework did not take the same color as the rest of the front panel when I attempted to apply toner to the front panel. So, I stained the new veneer to darken it.
Two photos of the 44B cabinet body after the application of stain:

I then set everything aside to dry until Thursday. Things should start moving pretty quickly from this point forward.
