My 16B
#59

I decided to complete this radio so I started the refinishing process.  I could start a thread in the finish section but it made sense to me to keep it all together.

The cabinet has been stripped and now has 2 coats of Mohawk EZ Vinyl sealer.  Next will be filler, than sanding sealer and finally, semi gloss lacquer.

Questions on toner colors.  I'll use walnut brown grain filler even though the wood is, I believe, some form of mahogany.  You can see how dark the finish was under the escutcheon. What toner would you recommend for the inset?

The surrounding wood was fairly red.  Toner recommendation? The trim pieces were not a lot darker than the surrounding wood.  I may darken it ever so slightly more than the surrounding wood to help hide the end grain at the top and the joint.

The sides were quite dark and red.  A suggestion for toner?

Thank you in advance for your recommendations!
