Refinishing an Antique Buffet

This refinish was not returning the piece back to original but rather matching it to a customer's finish on a previously owned table and chairs.

I removed the doors and drawers. The moldings were already removed and some lost. The buffet needs stripping and repair.
Here I am working wood glue behind areas where the veneer is coming loose.
After gluing I put plastic between the buffet and the board I use to clamp with so the board doesn't get glued to the buffet. The board is used so the clamps don't damage the buffet.
I apply stripper to remove the old finish and wipe down with mineral spirits.
Here I use a rag to apply golden oak stain to the Mahogany veneer. Sounds  crazy but it's the stain it took to match the dining table.
After stain dried overnight I applied 3 coats of satin lacquer with a spray gun.
Better than before that's for sure.
The fancy wood pieces were ordered online, stained and then applied with glue and a brad nailer.
