Philco 38-8 Refinishing
#5

Latest update:  I ended up filling those 2 chips/dings whatever they are, with timber mate wood filler.  Read good things about it, that it would take toner well.  Tgace459, that is a very creative solution using sawdust and glue... next cabinet I will give that a try.

   

Then I masked it off.

   

And did the trim first, in extra dark walnut.  Put 2 coats on it so far.  

   

It looks almost black in the photos, but up close it's dark but you can still see the grain a little bit below it.  Really looks nice, but I think I will do one more coat when it all dries well, just to make sure it's even.
