Edison Home Phonograph case color and finish
Posted: Sat Apr 09, 2011 12:52 am
Hi all, I am taking the oak case timber back to the start, were these cases normally from new a nice golden oak finish or were they different stained colors? I love Oak, not a common timber here in Australia and I like the light grain finish but if it was not like that from new I need some guidance from you guys. What do you use to fill the grain, can thick shellac solution but used then sanded or is the grain filled with a darker filler.
I have the whole bottom case apart thanks to loose finger joints. It is in good condition and should come up nice. The lid is not bad but has the veneer missing on one edge which seems to be common on a lot for sale on Ebay.
This question has probably been asked a hundred times, if there is a link to case finishing can someone point me in the right direction.
