Philco 50 (early) cabinet restoration
#22

It looks nice other then the dents in the bottom molding, but still looks much better then what you started with, and it's a fairly rare variant to boot. I wish that you would have mentioned the nicks and dings earlier, or maybe you did, because I would have suggested steaming them out by placing a hot iron (or soldering gun) on a damp rag or paper towel placed over the dent. I learned about this trick in a book, it comes in handy with cleaning up the molding along the base on a fully skirted console where things like kids toys are always banging into them and leaving dents. It doesn't always work 100% but it usually helps, and it looks and works better then wood putty.
