I finished the toning on Philco 650B cabinet today. I used the Mohawk Extra Dark Walnut toner on the sides and trim. I used a light coat of Mohawk Ultra Medium Brown Walnut on the front panel, just to add a little warmth. Here are some pics.

It will be several weeks before I can spray the final lacquer clearcoats. I must spray the clearcoats outside, so I have to wait for the right weather. I prefer a low humudity day when the temps are not above 80F. Anyway, I will have some time to decide how I like the looks of my toning and whether I want to make any changes, before I spray the clearcoats.

Oh, I should show a pic of the unrestored cabinet. Here it is, in all of its resplendent glory.
