radio cabinet refinishing

Also, if you're looking to keep your radio somewhat original looking, and would rather not just paste on an interesting piece of real veneer, you could make a computer scan of an interesting piece of veneer. It may or may not turn out nice. If it turns out nice, though you won't necessarily have the original pattern, you'll at least have an attractive photo finish. I'm not an extreme fan of photo finishes, but when it comes to keeping a radio original, they're usually a must. It is also rather difficult to come across detailed veneer, unless it's specifically bird's eye maple or burled whatever (many woods get burly). Search your wood stores, though, and you might come up with something interesting. Once you scan a copy of your interesting piece of veneer, you can also play around with it using various graphic programs (change tint, contrast, as well as paint it up using the various paint tools).
