Philco 37-116 Cabinet Repair
#2

First, there are folks more skilled than I am that may have other opinions but for what it’s worth…

Repair of cracked veneer on a curved surface is difficult. One option, the one that gives the best look, is to remove it and put in a new piece. In this case that’s even more challenging because of the two strips of inlay.

I would probably try to repair by ensuring any lifting veneer is glued back down and then I’d try filling cracks with wax sticks or some wood filler. This approach then has the challenge of staining or toning the repair to match the surrounding area (it rarely will.)

A third approach, also one that I have taken at times, again ensure lifted veneer is glued back down and then leave as is. After you refinish, the cracked areas will remain but may not be a prominent as before.
