I appreciate the suggestions to clean the cabinet and then French polish but the there was almost no original finish left on the cabinet to go that route.

Nice work!
When can I take delivery?

Nice work Jerry, that red mahogany stain was a good color match.
What did you use for filler?

I used Behlen water based grain filler. The color is brown but I wish it was darker. What do others suggest? Jerry B.
