116X Finish
#14

You know, I have a second one of those. Came from a fellow that kept it in a garage. When I got it there was slight crackling on the radius on both sides. I refinished it, including gluing the cracks, but after a few years of drying out in a warm house the cracks not only reappeared but became multiple running the length of the cabinet on both sides and on the waterfall radius on the top. I am reluctant to use it to heat the shop, but I am afraid it is not beyond repair, just beyond the time and effort it would take to replace all of that veneer.
