dark stains to hide imperfections?
#3

Terry is right a picture is important in fact several.

That is because the extent and kind of damage can be remedied in many different ways. Some methods are more involved than others, generally, the more complex the method, the more invisible the repair.

Some repairs require learning new skills, often multiple skills in the same method.

For example: Veneer patching, shellac stick burning, dent and grain raising, grain filling, lacquer tinting and opaquer toning.

Not to drive anyone away from the Phorum, there is a new fellow who has come to Antique Radio Forum, an auto re-finisher who has taken up cabinet repair/refinishing. His name is Fred Taylor. His work is outstanding and explains exactly how it is done with pictures. Folks are now contract him for cabinet finishing...
