Excellent point and matches my own thinking -- but I'm trying to match
a desk. Still I think with water it looked pretty close to my desk.
My wife thought it was a little light, though. This office is
beautifully made -- mostly solid mahogany, although in some places
3/4" mahogany plywood was used. The shelves are an actual 2" thick
mahogany planks.

Next question: How do I get the dye and lacquer from those hard to
get to places -- any special sanding tools or are there chemicals?

Lacquer thinner melts lacquer, just wipe on, wait a bit, wipe off.
Repeat as necessary then sand.

Unless you can disassemble there is no magic way to sand in hard to
reach places but often a scraper is better, easier and faster.
