Today the baseboard came in from Steve Davis. He did an excellent job reproducing a replica of the original. The original was badly delaminated. I thought I might be able to reconstruct it but decided w/a new one after removing the old one, it just fell part. He also reproduced the veneer bands that are fitted around the base of the outside of the cabinet.
I do need to make a small adjustment to the tongue edge of the base it's abt 1/64" too wide on the left side but short of that it's a perfect fit. A little bit of sanding and it will be done.
Next is to mask up the gluing surfaces and give it a couple of coats sanding sealer and tone to match the inside of the cabinet.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
