Thanks to Ron and everyone for the information which will be helpful going forward.

I will be stripping the cabinet myself, and most likely will be using a citrus gel stripper I have had good results with before.

Does anyone know what type of wood the main cabinet is? Reason I ask is that I would like to buy something close to experiment on so I can get the coloring correct. Kind of a practice piece.

Thanks again.
