While I wait for my Philco 49-1040 cabinet to cure, I'm diving into this one. I expect it to go a lot faster.

One side is fine, but the other needs a little help. I hope that blemish fades after stripping. I'll use scraps from the top as patches.


Here's the nice new sheet of face cut Mahogany veneer. I'll be using Mohawk Brown Mahogany toner lacquer.


The old veneer is peeling off very easily
I only needed to use the heat gun in a few stubborn spots. I hope the new stuff stays on a lot better!


Weird how the front few inches of the substrate are different. Seems to be slightly lower than the rest with a filler making up the difference.
I'll need to use some new filler and sand it smooth.
