There was a dark mahogany stain painted all over the case with what looked like water damage in various places. | 
Plus some paint drops. |

The hood had been stripped and stained at some point. | 
Some missing veneer. |

The hood needed to be bleached so I could then stain to try to match the base. | 
After stripping off the old stain and finish the original colour was revealed. This meant that it was more difficult to match the hood. |

Got the Match! The case was French polished and beeswaxed. |
