Greetings,
Many old radios were not covered with real wood veneer, but had a photo print, which is called photofinish on them. It was easily worn or damaged and there was no source for the variety of wood and grain patterns needed to restore these old radios.
I developed a way to easily and cheaply make this paper and here is a link to a photo using this method.. The radio on the right is covered and restored with this paper. On the table in front of the radios are example I made of this paper.

If there is any interest in this, I will post a link to more information and answer any questions you might have. Stewart
