Suggestions for AR-3a Cabinet Finish

Wow those are really nice!  I'm still waiting for some dye stain (suggested by Genek) to be delivered. I have some uneven sanded areas that need to be addressed before applying a final finish. I'll keep Watco finishes in mind. Also plan to repair some damaged edges with a Mohawk walnut epoxy stick (suggested by lakecat). Busy week ahead 👍

Cabinets complete... They came out a little darker than anticipated. I probably should've used a lighter dye stain. It did however even out the color. I used two coats of Watco natural. I had some "shine" areas so I used 95% alcohol to deburnish those out. Worked well.

I have two original tweeters being rebuilt by Chris over at AK. I should get those back within the month.  The grille covers came completely destroyed so that's my next project. Again, thanks to all who responded with advice and pictures.
