Rather than post it all here, I created a wordpress blog to document the restoration. I'm not going to restore it to look original as it's already so heavily modified. I'm going with a lighter orange(ish) / cherry finish. I'm going to try to make the bellows myself, so that should be interesting.
I've also never refinished anything before, but I'm taking it really slow, and following online advice and research as well as manufacturer suggestions on the products I'm using.
Here's the blog:
