That's not a repair, that's the work of an artist. Beautiful.

[@RestoreOldRadios]

Thanks Joe. It turned out better than I had hoped. Best, Don

[@jimdawes7261]

It's really coming together nicely.

Slowly getting there Jim. I hope to apply some toner lacquers early next week if the forecast holds. Best, Don

You make that look too easy.. I never would have guessed that was patched. Nicely done!

[@RestoreOldRadios]

I appreciate it Paul. Sometimes it works out and other times not so good, but it’s an old radio and either way it adds character. Thanks again. Best, Don

[@TheRadioShop]

That really looks great Don. You are the master!

[@RestoreOldRadios]

Buddy, thanks for your kind words. You know, sometimes things come together and other times they don’t. Hope the weather allows me to finish the cabinet early next week. Best, Don

A really nice match on that veneer Don. A pretty much invisible repair.

[@RestoreOldRadios]

Thanks George. I hope to spray toner lacquers early in the week if the weather permits. Best, Don

[@otekrec]

That turned out really well! It amazes me how little, if anything, you can see of the transition between the veneers. Well done, Sir.

[@RestoreOldRadios]

Ola, thank you. I was amazed myself that the match was so close. Thanks for reaching out and watching. Best, Don

Very nice Don! Blended very well! What shades of mohawk sticks do you have??? I have about 3 shades and they are limited to what I can do, I need to pick up some more colors. Thanks for sharing, you make it looks soooooo easy! Such skill!!!!! Take Care--Larry

[@RestoreOldRadios]

Much appreciated Larry. It does look better than my starting point. I’ll send you an email with the colors I have ASAP. I bought a set that came with every color I’ve ever needed years back. Thanks again. Best, Don
