Rare zenith 6s137 restore
#10

Thanks Russ for complementing me on my restoration, you know several years ago looking at your website and all the great restorations you have done inspired me to get results from my work to look like yours. You do excellent work on your radios . I am getting a lot better on my veneer work and still working on veneering so I can master it from scratch. there are many different types of wood out there and getting better at recognizing those. I'm restoring a rare Stewart Warner 1271 tombstone and going replace the veneer on that one, got some African rose (Bubinga) wood for the front section but may have chosen the wrong kind but going to use it anyway . Looks like it may have been Quilted Maple but the rosewood is so close and beautiful. This will be a good test for me doing the whole front will the grill cutouts, going to take my time so it lloks perfect
