I thought I had posted a topic on this but I guess not...

I purchased this off eBay last year and started restoring it. It then sat for 6 months when I got frustrated...
I stripped it and was trying to get the colors right but it was not working...

On the final coat of toner I slipped and got runs...

Today I decided to get it done.. I stripped it this morning but before I go and start toning. What do you guys think are the best colors?
 I had ex dk walnut on the bottom half and perfect brown on the top...
It just seemed too dark and to red...

It got dented and stuff while sitting in the workshop so I will have to try and iron out the dents...
