Question
I am wanting to "modernize" our pickled oak table chairs and hutch by staining a black....have never done any type of furniture restoration and want to do right...IDEAS?
The first thing you have to do is sanding. You have to sand off the current stain/color that is on them. After you have sanded everything down, you are ready to stain. You can ask at the hardware store which stain to use.
The last stain I used was very easy to work with. I simply painted a light coat onto the wood. I noticed it wasn't quite the look I wanted, so I painted a second coat a little thicker. This time it came out just right.
Good luck.
