Hello all-
I have a pair of 1982 Cornwalls that I inherited a few years ago. The cabinets were a little rough and this week I finally got started on getting them refinished. I have them stripped and sanded (had a few scratch marks on the top that needed to go). I am looking to make the CWO finish look as close a possible to the original finish. I have gone through and searched the topic board here but have not found the "secret sauce". From a few years ago, HDBR said that it was boiled linseed oil mixed with black walnut, however I have not been able to find that. I have repainted the backs and the front in black, and am making new grills, and trying to reach Duracrest about the correct brown cane.
I have experimented with a few combinations on the bottom the speakers but have not yet found the right one. I also had to replace the veneer on one of the fronts, as sections had come off and they were unrepairable.
Any suggestions on the finish would be greatly appreciated.
