Thread: English Speaker Cabinet Wood Veneer Restore

Hi folks,
I am new to the forum and this is my first post.
I have got a pair of speaker approx 20 years old, the wood veneer is walnut, there are scratches at the top of the speaker, I would like to know how to restore back to original condition.

I searched on the forum and figure out the Shellac is the way to go.
My question is:
1. To remove the scratch, do I use shellac flakes or liquid form shellac.
2. How do I apply the shellac, with a cheesecloth??
3. What do I do after the shellac is applied, do I need to sand the cabinet to get rid of the scratch.
4. Would Shellac darkened the wood grain at all, there are different sort of Shellac as well, I am confused which one is the most neutral.
4. There is a slightly chipped on the corner, how do I restore the chipped corner.
5. How do I get a matched wood veneer to match the missing piece.
Thanks all
