What is the original color scheme for this cabinet.
I noticed a lot of red juices when I was stripping it but if you wet the wood now it looks like it did before I stripped it.
Could there be no toner used on the rosewood cabinet?

Do the corners get Ex Dk Walnut or black?

I have been looking at photos online but people do too many different things for me to be sure. I figured while I am laid up I can order all the toner and clear I will need for the cabinets but need guidance on this one.

I'm betting the finish on this was original but want to make sure.
