How bad does it have to be before its a scrapper set?

[boater sam]

                As most of this set is working out better than expected, the cabinet had to be restored to something close to original.
To this end all the old lacquer has been dry scraped of with a plane iron. A rub down with wire wool and white spirit showed the original colour but a little variable in places.
A light rub with a darker stain evened it out, and 3 coats of Danish oil have made it respectable.

The trim is still an unsolved problem.
