[QUOTE="fastbs, post: 2256998, member: 6685"] Many ways to do it. This is what I've done. Use stripper to remove factory finish. Tooth brush helps in checkering. Wet rag and iron will pull out small dents. Sand out other dings and reshape if u want. Think I used 000 steel wool for final. Clean with mineral spirits. Dab rag in stain and rub it on. The more coats the darker and makes the grain pop. Let dry however long can said then spray with 3 coats spar urathane.

Used gloss spar cause it dries harder then final with satin spar to get a duller look.
