Philco Jr 80 cabinet-water stain?
#13

Yes I did finish it although I never quite got that water stain out.  I've learned that I probably should have let the oxalic acid work for a lot longer than the half hour I gave it and I might have done better.  The center (medium walnut) came out darker than it should because I was trying to cover the stain...still, my wife liked it and its in our kitchen.  After I finished this, Kenneth Richmonds began offering the herringbone grill cloth that should be used so I should change that out at some point.  There was a chassis thread to this also.
