"I just love round coffee tables! This one had seen better days; the old veneer needed to be removed and replaced and I chose this beautiful mahogany piece, stained in American Walnut Liquid Oil Based Stain, to match the decor in my customer's home.

"This was stained with General Finishes American Walnut then got a light coat of Black Gel Stain- I say light because I was impatient and didn't wait the recommended time & my first coat of Arm-R-Seal took quite a bit of the black off.
