112X Cabinet restoration
#2

To continue.  the after photos are with one wash coat of sealer and then the grain filler rubbed in.

Questions:
1. The red arrow in the first post points to the transition from the front molding piece to the side piece.  There is a definite color change at the transition and it is on both sides of the cabinet.  Is this typical or should I attempt to minimize the transition using toner?
2. Notice the before and after of the dark water stain.  Using bleach and oxalic acid, I reduced the stain to what you see in the after pics.  Is it possible to reduce it further on future projects (this one is already sealed with sanding sealer so I'm as far as I can go)?

I am tempted to tone the trim wood slightly darker for contrast from what the original finish appears to be.  It also would help hide some small flaws in the wood.
