Been very busy with the cabinet refinishing for past couple weeks. Lots of dents to steam out and/or fill, plywood and veneer repair on the feet, etc.
Anyway, I've got the entire cabinet grain filled and stained, and wanted to confirm that the very bottom of the sides should be substantially darker than the rest of the sides -- everything from the horizontal veneer cut downward (basically the last 3-4 inches at the bottom).
How about the bottom skirt on the front? Should that also be a shade darker than the rest of the front? That was not easy to tell on mine, since the original finish was in quite poor shape at the bottom.
I'll darken the bottom areas further once I know whether that is correct.
