Mike,
That is NOT the finished color. I am only dying the walnut to better match the original colors. I will have to strip it again and see if the colors are even.
Terry,
The burl is naturally darker than a straight grained raw veneer. When I get to that point I will show you and you can decide.
I was trying to save the face panel but no go... It needs to be refinished....
While stuff was gluing I decided to do a quick restoration on my newly acquired Silvertone 6230. The cabinet is awesome minus the top. I repaired the veneer issues and I sanded this one because I am only redoing the top. I taped it off but stripper will seep right through. I then grain filled and this morning I lacquered. Should I tone the top or does it look like a match?
