Looks like this one is marginal as far as the finish. Didn't see sides yet. If structural is OK and chassis is restorable, striping and toned laquer might be OK. If original had paper burl, that's another story. Nothing says you can't strip, scrape and put new veneer but when eactly does a restoration turn into a crusade?
