118H, Original Wood Color/Finish-Updated with Photo
#6

Arran Wrote:The colour of that cabinet is pretty close to what it should be even if it is a bit banged up, the one in the photo gallery has been refinished improperly as it's all monochrome. That 118L in the other thread should be good as a guide. Do you have some of the missing pieces from the legs or are they gone altogether?

Thanks Arran for the input. I am checking for the missing pieces to see where I may have stored them several years ago, wish me luck. I have a plan B for a donor cabinet in the works as well.
Can I as what you mean by monochromatic? Did the 118H have areas that were walnut venier and other areas toned darker? Please advise.

Mike

What I mean is that the 118H in tha gallery was finished in a sort of one tone red colour when the cabinet had shaded portions to cover up the cheap wood parts and to make it look sort of antiqued. Like the legs for example, they would be dark in the concave areas but lighter on the convex areas to mimick the sort of worn look that you would get on an antique chair, table, or cabinet with spindles, it's sort of hard to describe. The veneered areas would have a closer to natural finish to them, although sometimes tinted slightly just to even out the colour, because they wanted to show off the grain.
Regards
Arran
