My wife wanted me to take her old end table and stain the table lighter, to match our furniture.

I didn’t think it was possible to stain a table a lighter color. Sounds almost like unsmoking a cigarette. :-)

Looks like you made a liar out of me though. Nice job.

Looks like a nice tight job on the refinish.

What did you use to strip it? I think it’s harder to do since they took away all the “good stuff” (you know the stuff that plastic surgeons use to remove foot calluses, face wrinkles and noses). Anyways, at least it worked and worked quickly.
THe color you ended up with is super rich looking. Nice work. Is it maple?

A beautiful “healthy” glow. Some real good work went into this and well worth it. What did you use for the finish?
