Philco 44B Cabinet Finish
#7

I did forget about that the filler may dissolve. Timbermate is cheap and works well. I think you will find a refinisher expensive and you can do a reasonably good job by yourself. Again you have choices...just the sides or the whole thing. When i did my first one it looked so good i did the whole cabinet. Each one will get better as you learn what you are doing. I have completed a cabinet, not liked it and stripped off all my work several times until i got the look i wanted, trying different techniques.
And a tombstone is relatively easy to start with... a floor model lots more work.
