Took the face and 1000 grit sanded the pre-existing finish. Then cleared the face. the re-flow worked pretty well. It has the look of age but the protection of a new piece. What do you think Mike?

As for the cabinet I taped off all the parts I will keep original and meticulously stripped all the molding. Glued and filled a few problem spots and tomorrow I will tone the cabinet.

What toner was used for the 90 trim? same as the 70?

Maybe a few heavy coats of medium brown?
