Stradivaro Cabinet Before

Today I started refinishing this Stradivaro cabinet that came with the Singer 27 VS that I gave away.  I rather like the lines of the cabinet.  It is true that I have too many cabinets and that they take up too much room.  I thought, though, that if I could just get this one dressed up and refinished without a lot of effort, someone might like it.  The "without a lot of effort" is the problem.  I have two hours in the project already and I still have more sanding before I can even think about the stain and the urethane.  Check in later for some "in process photos."
