refurbishing black ash veneers

martin1969 · 31st August 2010, 11:17 PM

I`ve been rebuilding some kef 104.2`s over the last few months , but am not sure how to go about the cabinets . They had been hand painted with gloss black on the sides and tops , the back and front are as they should be and untouched . So what i am after doing is to return them to standard.
So far i have removed the paint and sanded the veneers back as far as i dare ... But now i am stuck . so many differing aproaches . Stain,paint,oil,laqure ???? which way to go

. any advise would be apreciatted .....

I found that several coats of "Black Japan" gives a very nice finish and would cover any imperfections.
