37-610 "Bullet" Cabinet refinish
#13

It turned out very nice indeed. Icon_thumbup

Here is, most likely, the reason why the Medium Walnut was not to your liking on front:

If you apply grain filler without spraying sanding sealer on the wood first, the filler and the liquid will act as a stain.

I think that if you had applied sanding sealer first, you would have been more pleased with the cabinet's appearance with Medium Walnut on front.

Here's my late 1936 model 610T Bullet with a 1936 model 630 chassis inside. I refinished the cabinet three years ago, using the technique outlined above.

I'm not being critical at all, please understand. I am merely suggesting what you might try next time to avoid getting your finish too dark.

In all honesty...I am hoping that my 37-610T late version Big Bullet will turn out as well as yours once I refinish it!
