Moving right along...........well crawling is more like it
I have the case just about all stripped; got some cracks filled on the feet and the center piece is the one left that is going to take some time to get the green paint all off.
Talked to John Goller, and he says use "perfect brown" toner on the trim. I can also use dark walnut if I choose. For the sanded off veneer (this stuff is literally paper thin) I have found a video from Pond Cove Paint on a pen backround and graining system that I am going to try. It's not real expensive and it looks like it might just do the trick. If not I can always go for the peel n stick veneer.
Here are some current pics:

I guess photobucket has changed their site. I can no longer cut and paste the link for individual pics. So you will see my whole album.
OK, I got them over except for two that are covered by the ads on the right hand side of the page.
