Moving right along...
Yesterday, I began to sand down the 38-2670B cabinet in preparation for its first coats of lacquer. About 3/4 of the way through the job, though, it began to thunder outside, so I quit for the day.
This afternoon, I sanded the one side that did not get sanded yesterday. Wiped the cabinet down, sprayed it with compressed air, wiped it down again. Then, I gave it a coat of sealer followed by two coats of Medium Walnut toner.
The results:

As usual, light spots you see are reflections from the work table. The cabinet is a uniform color of Medium Walnut now, save for the upper trim which will get a darker shade of toner anyway.
The next step is to carefully mask off most of the cabinet, leaving only the upper white wood trim and the bottom trim exposed. These areas will receive a couple coats of a darker color - Perfect Brown Ultra Classic. I only want some mild contrast, not too dark. After this, if all goes well, the entire cabinet will receive its first coats of clear Deft lacquer.
