here is pics of one of my first cabinet restores
part of the top front was missing ,remade with platic padding mixed with dark ocra
otherdeep gouges on the top were filled with coloured wax all rubed down with fine wire wool then french polished not to great effect. cant natch the colours,as can be seen the veneer is comming away from the doors i had to remove it using a hair dryer, it was gludes back on with pva. i had to put the doors in one of those vacumn bags used for storing clothes , only way icould get an even pressure on a not flat surface works well. sorry no pics of finished job customer took it back before i had time to take any .he was very happy, cant belive what he woul of thought if it was done like one of yours
