I've always wanted a gaudy gigantic desk fit for a king or as we like to do it the Ol' U.S. of A President... Anyway, but I never had the dough-lo to go out and buy one... These things are pretty expensive. What I do have though that may be worth more than a green paper-back is vision. Checkout my before and afters and the next time you see that too shabby executive desk or broke-up dream home or broke-down dream car close your eyes and envision what it could be... who knows there could be a diamond under all that rough... *Note* don't expect to not get dirty while you're doing all that digging, this was most definitely no walk in the park- HOLLA!
Before
After
How I did it... (basic/short version)
1. Used paint thinner to remove a layer of the stain already present
2. Used wood putty to fill in dings and scratches, let dry and then sanded even
3. Coated several times til stain was even
*Doesn't seem like a lot... because it's not, but the steps take time so be patient and don't quit- because you will want to ;-).
