Ron is the final word for this, but I used extra dark walnut ultra classic toner for the top/sides/pillars/base moulding and medium walnut for the face. I use ultra classic because it is dye based color and the wood will show better.

I have also been experimenting with universal walnut and dark van dyke walnut for the dark portions of some Philco and other sets.
