[Mr Grumpy]

You mention you "added the photo grain". How exactly is this done?

I followed this guide --> http://www.philcoradio.com/schooley/index.htm

and used this photocopy for the tiger maple...

I used different shades of yellow and and burnt sienna oil paints then once it was glued onto the radio i applied the chestnut/poly clear coat to tone down the yellow and blend it into the cabinet colour a little better.

I cut thin strips for the inlay on the front and sides.
