It still looks good.
BTW this was the reason for me asking why not use all new veneer, would've given you more freedom so you didn't not have to conceal water damage.

I also think (might ne wrong) those 45s I've seen on the web had that reddish hue on the buttefly's wings... probably not that important and could be rendering of the web photos.

Bottom line - I like it, and it is miles away from where it was a mere week ago when we all laughed at it.
