Clear coat over stain??
#15

Hey John (LASJayhawk) -- I noticed in looking at different pictures of 53-1750 on the internet, that the "Mahogany" ones have different shades depending on what picture you look. Ofcourse, the lighting conditions and camera flash (or lack there of) can also affect the way these pictures come out - but it seems that are likely variations of this production model. I've stripped and sanded the entire unit from front to back and bottom to top. The top cover and legs are made of some type of light wood. The sides and back are made of some darker grained wood (maybe it's Mahagony veneer ??). I'm going to stain it Mahagony and it won't be exactly like the original most likely .
