So I've been sand a big built in cabinet-basically approaching a dining room hutch that used to be in our kitchen. It's so behind the times it has the flour and sugar bins built within (our house was built contained by 1913). My question is-if I want to stain it again do I own to sand it down to pristine wood or can I simply remove the top layers of the outdated stain? Right now within is a shade difference between areas that have be sanded near a power sander and the areas I have have to do by hand. We plan on staining it really gloomy, so I'm wondering if it will take and if in attendance will be a huge color difference if I don't have it adjectives matching previously we start staining. I don't mind if it ends up having some "individuality," but I don't want it to look horrible. Any advice would be meet!
*Oh, and the areas I have done by foot "feel" like wood presently, but its the color difference I was wondering roughly.
Answers:
No, you don't have to rob it down to bare wood. And yes, it will distribute the piece added character. As long as you've removed any varnish or wax that would block the stain, stain away. If you requirement to even up the tone, simply leave the stain on longer within those areas.
Especially in a functional piece approaching you've described, I think an out-of-date piece of furniture/cabintery should *look* old. Be proud of that time-worn patina!
depends on the open-handed of wood it is and if it will soak in the shady stain evenly,
