With the lack of clamps due to other radios needing them, I could only safely veneer the sides with their book matched veneer. That is thanks to Steve!

She is ready for the front veneer and then I will fix a few chips on the right side back that I had forgot about.
Last is the off color veneer patches from last summer.. I have no idea why they are darker but I have my wood bleach and will lighten those suckers up....
