1936 116-122 Cabinet Restoration
#9

Nathan,
Thanks for the ad. Would there be a way to email a hi-res copy of it?

Thanks

I think the butt Walnut might be referred to the center panel with all the controls.

On ARF somebody suggested that it was Walnut and nothing special. However the inlays are of a lighter color wood. the grain does match Walnut though. I'm soaking a small piece of walnut veneer I harvested off another cabinet in some bleach to see if I can lighten it up. I did 1 piece last night and let it soak overnight. all I had this morning was some very thin "skins" of a beautiful grain pattern. The 2nd piece is soaking as I type and I'm keeping an eye on it. I wonder if I can get some "blonde" walnut?
