At least I think that's what happened. I found the cabinet of this
console quite attractive, and newer looking than it had a right to be for
its age and the way it was displayed, all jammed into a corner. Sure
enough, when I took a close-up of the dial with the flash, it showed that
the person doing the refinishing hadn't filled the wood's pores.

I believe that even with this nice a wood used in the cabinet's
construction, a very light toner sprayed on would have blended the
different panels beautifully, without losing the grain patterns.
A photo flash seems to exagerate many problems.

I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to add grain filler now, followed by
toner
and a few light finish lacquer coats.
