In my thread on JBL 4410 restoration I have now come to a hault.
I have cleaned and sanded down the old veneer.
And (before finnishing the JBL`s) found myself a practise cabinet where I have tried out different finnishes.
1-Sanded. 2-Clear lacquer. 3-Dark brown lacquer. 4.Charchoal black laqcuer
Thing is-I don`t like any of them and have started to question wether I should just stay with the old,
that is to simply oil up the old coloured veneer.
Here is a tabletop done in dark brown colour and clearcoat:
Very different.
Possibly different woods,different grains/density etc respond different to the same treament?
In trying to add a different colour on top of the old,
the results have not been to my liking.
Is it a dead end trying to lay a charcoal laquer finnish on top of the brown/redish old oil?
Any inputs/experience?
