Ron's Cabinet Work for the 2012 Season
#48

The 19B is finished!

Here's a quick and dirty photo - note that in this picture, the front panel is not attached. I put the container of CrystaLac behind the panel to hold it in place for this photo:

I think Extra Dark Walnut, or even several coats of Perfect Brown, probably would have looked better on the trim - Maison Brown is, I discovered, a very dark cherry reddish brown. But the flaws in the trim are now hidden, and the cabinet does look much better than it did before refinishing.

I intend to let the cabinet body and front panel thoroughly dry before I rub both out. And then, I will reattach the front panel to the cabinet body.

The 42-761EZ is next on the agenda...
