I bought a new dining room set and would love to refinish an existing buffet to match the new set. The nerw set is a dark maghony and the old buffet is sort of a light cherry. I have never refinsish before and was plannign on using a chemical stripper, sanding, and finishing with oil based gel.
Does anyone see any issues with that plan? How do I determine if I need a sealer? Here are some photos . Middle two are the buffet.
