[QUOTE=Macybaby;6400284]What I've found is that the darker look of the old cabinets is from the finish darkening over the years. If you remove the finish, you'll find the original stain is more natural in color
Great gobs, Macybaby; that is incredible!
Is it solid oak, or veneer?
How did you strip it? Was it a shellac finish originally?
Cannot believe how gorgeous it is now. Wow wow wow. Please tell me more.
