I was wondering what the consensus might be on dealing with this cabinet issue? Assuming the photo posts correctly, you can see the finish is removed in an irregular spot on just the lid portion of this cabinet. The rest of the cabinet seems in good shape, but the finish has darkened to a very dark brown.
So what do you think? Try to feather in a dark brown stain to match the rest of the cabinet? Remove the lid and refinish the whole lid to match the rest of the cabinet? Or strip, stain, tone, and finish the whole cabinet?
