Uneven Stain


Clowe

Recommended Posts

My husband and I recently stripped and restrained this dining room table.

We use CitiStrip I think it's called to remove old stain, then sanded some. I have no idea what numbers we used sandpaper wise,

We are NOT wood workers...this was our very first time trying. I feel the legs and table extensions took the new stain well, but the table top is blotchy and uneven.

I have read so many forums and blogs my head hurts! I really want to fix this table, it has sentimental value. Can I just re sand and start again? Will re sanding cause the wood to just not take stain again? We did use a conditioner before applying the stain.

I believe the wood is pine...but maybe not? It doesn't really have any knots...not sure if all pine does.

Anyhow...could anyone offer advice in lay men's terms? Thanks so much!
