I have a small chest of drawers that I am planning on using next to my computer desk for disks, paper, dictionary, etc., as the computer desk has no drawers. Here is the problem, it is the wrong tint.
The computer desk color (comparing to the Minwax stain chart) is similar to "Colonial Maple # 223", the chest of drawers is not really close to anything on the color chart but is in the range of "Golden Oak #210B or Ipswich Pine #221". The chest has only been stained, no poly or other "top coat" finishes have been applied.
I have never done any kind of wood work, much less finishing so I am an extreme wood finishing newbie. How do I go about getting the chest of drawers to the right tint? Do I have to get the existing stain out of the wood somehow and if so how? Or can I just go over what is already there with the new stain?
Thanks in advance for all advice......
