OK, if anyone's still following along, here's a look at today's progress.

I carefully wet sanded the 610T cabinet with 400 grit wet/dry paper. I ended up having to mask off the cabinet and re-tone the bottom trim on front. Later, it received a few more coats of clear Deft. As far as I am concerned...it is done. Not quite as good as it would have been, but still pretty good. Photos later.

I also applied grain filler to both sides of the 38-2670B cabinet. It will be ready for lacquer this coming week.
