Moving on to the wraparound. The wraparound is in pretty rough shape with bad veneer, extra holes and much delamination of the plies. As with the front panel, I want to keep as much of the original cabinet as I can. I am going to try repair and re-veneer. The veneer was easily removed.

The glue holding the rear arch support was still holding quite well. When the support was removed, it pulled quite a bit of the inner veneer loose.
