The video shows you how to overcome the challenge of applying oil-based stains on maple wood surfaces to achieve a beautiful, blotch-free and natural looking finish. The process also includes paint stripping, conditioning, sanding (with high grit) and applying polyurethane, which help us to achieve the goal to make them look like fine furniture. Refinishing furniture reduces landfill waste.
