While the cabinet was still out in the garage, I removed the screen cover. It is gorgeous bookmatched flame mahogany veneer over a solid hardwood wood core. Quite heavy and badly in need of refinishing. The lacquer has deteriorated and completely missing in areas.
Old lacquer comes off very easily with gently scraping and lacquer thinner.
Filling in the grain
A little stain
After a few coats of pre-cat nitrocellulose lacquer
