Philco 71 stain or toner color
#1

I've got the cabinet stripped down and grain filled on the back and face pieces evrything has been sanded with 600 then 1000 grit sandpaper. So I am ready to start with the color.

I'm not sure how to go about it should I use stain or should I use toner laquer to get the colors close to original? What colors should be used I have several Mohawk toners on hand, and some stains.

Im shooting for something like this:

Ron advised that this the also the original finish the 71B would have had.

I also like this:
