Stripped , sanded , grain filled and sanded again , stained with toned areas that I like much better than a plain Jane cabinet. I have sealed everything in three coats of sealer and then that will be sanded smooth being very careful not to burn thru. I am waiting on the zebra wood photo finish vinyl and then will apply that showing how I'm doing the photo finish to you all. This radio sure will look nice when completed.
