I masked off the whole top and recessed panel so I could spray the inner edge with dark walnut toner. It was a pain, but looks nice I think.

I really like the way the veneer changes appearance depending on your point of view Icon_smile
When I first got the set, I though the "L" was a different shade of toner.
