Custom Java + Black Gel Stained Side Table

"Talk about HANDSOME!!! This table is a treasured family heirloom of Christina and her family. Originally belonging to her great great grandma! To say the pressure was on was an understatement! We decided to remove all of the veneer on both shelves since it was VERY damaged. Sanded it all down, treated it with a coat of General Finishes Pre-Stain Conditioner since the shelves are made of a different wood than the legs. I needed all the help I could get to get the stain to go on nice and even! She wanted it a nice deep color like it used to be when she was little, so we stained it in a custom mix of General Finishes Java and Black Gel Stains and sealed it in three coats of their oil based topcoat Arm-R-Seal so it will be protected for years and years to come!" - Upcycling by Amy
