This cabinet belongs to the chassis in my 84B chassis restoration thread.  It wasn't in terrible shape but there were enough scratches and flaws that I decided to go ahead and do a refinish.  Besides, I need the practice.  The photos from left to right are "as received", "stripped" and "toned".  Toners were a very light coat of medium walnut ultra classic on the center portion just to even out the color a bit; perfect brown ultra classic on the arch and outer section of the front and van dyke brown for what should be the black sections.  VD Brown comes out almost black and I liked it better than the black I had.  I don't have clear on yet but will put on gloss coats but rub it out to a satin finish since the original 84B was satin according to its brochure.

I think the gloss coat is the way to go. You can always adjust the sheen afterwards to your liking with a gloss, but not so with a satin.Concerning the top chip repair- I always use graining markers- amazing product, one can't see repair spot at 2 feet distance.
