No. I wrote him, no reply yet. Hope he's OK.

Working on the center cabinet issues. The veneer had buckled on a burl in the veneer causing a lift and separation right in the center of the cabinet arch. Making an insert to back the cabinet while clamping.

I don't think the veneer on the wrap-around is original. I have never seen a Clyde Shuler Philco cabinet with the grain running up and over.

Judging by the finish (however damaged it was) when I got it, the finish was original. If it was, so was the veneer. Unless it wasn't.

Possible...
The holes in this cabinet are definitely suspect. They are deep like someone covered them without filling them.
It is a very old finish if it is re-veneered.
I have seen them with the grain running this way though.

Yeah, I am bringing a cigar I bought in Florida
I think tobacco is safer than paint chemicals.

I have made the insert for gluing the center issues on the cabinet.
I will apply the Glue and clamp the heck out of it until tomorrow.
I went and got new filters for my mask so hopefully these odor blockers will help instead of the dust ones.
They will be good for when the boys come over too
