I received this toolbox from my neighbor. It sat in his garage window for years, and the veneer has come off the back and top. I want to restore the box, the veneer part is easy. It's the sun damaged oak on the upper portion of the back and on the lid Id like some advice on.
A little sanding with some 240 grit didn't make much of an improvement. I was thinking since I'm going to be re- veneering maybe just mill down the sun damaged part to match the lower section and veneer the whole back, and do the same to the lid. I also thought about just replacing both pieces entirely. It seems like that may just be the easiest route.
Is there anything else I can do to it to maybe keep the original wood?
