Something different

The recently restored and repaired Bush VHF81 is currently in my kitchen and in regular use, and it sounds really good.

The only problem is that the mahogany veneer doesn't fit in with my modern kitchen decor!

Lurking at the back of my workshop was another VHF81, purchased from a well know auction site for £15 a couple of years ago. The veneer was wrecked, so I had an idea...


Here's the cabinet stripped of the veneer, filled, sanded, and with a couple of coats of undercoat applied. The next task will be a lot of sanding by hand to get it as smooth as possible, ready to take the top coat.

The colour scheme is going to be unique.

Keep listening!
