restoring cabinet; where to begin?
#7

Thanks arran!

It was coincidally my next question. I discovered one spot where the veneer is unglued - by looking at a chip I didn't notice before.
[Image: http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r253/...0_9091.jpg]

Its about 2 inch long by about half an inch wide. on the right of the chip on that picture.
Is there another source for appropriate seringe? That's definately something I will want to do before restorint the finish, in order to prevent future chips. The veneer on this really IS thin.

Searching online made me realize some veneer suppliers offers veneer by samples. For the size I need for fixing that, samples will be an excellent and cheap way of getting what I need.
I am not very knowledgeable of wood types, anyone could tell me what type of veneer would the 2nd spot be?
