Unfortunately, we don’t have a lot of before pics, but we found this by a dumpster and decided to give it a shot. After a lot, A LOT, of sanding, and more sanding…and more sanding we got the top-down to a level where we could stain it with a gel-wax. We used ebony miniwax gel wax on this to match the trim on the legs and reduced the orange hue from the original color.
What we used:
- sandpaper
