Stromberg Carlson 225-H restoration chronicles
#16

Good choice not to add color to the cabinet body...and Ill bet when you strip the top the new piece will look even closer to existing as you will be turning the old finish into a liquid, which over time has no doubt taken on some color from the wood itself. Its a fairly oily wood...that will darken somewhat over time. Ive seen these cabinets where someone has toned them and they look like H**l sometimes with a really brown almost nutmeg look. Its beautiful wood that doesn't need any color help. Corners and trim black as others have said. Ive seen guys tone the grooved band that runs across the front lower but for me that's overkill. Less is more. I think its one of the best cases the company built..right there with 130 series and others.
