Greetings Jason!
When I refinished a blond oak bedroom set (circa
1957), I was able to find a bleaching agent and stain kit at my local Sherwin
Williams paint retailer. Depending upon the base wood's color and
graining, the bleaching agent may not be necessary. The stain is a
very milky color that can be tinted to any range of shades to approximate the
original. The secret with the furniture that I refinished was one coat of
the bleaching agent followed by neutralization as recommended by the
manufacturer with a light general sanding following the neutralization. To
get the desired effect on my furniture project, I used six light coats of the
wipe-on/wipe-of gel stain followed by a very light sanding with three coats of a
water based polyurethane with light sanding between coats.
Good luck with your project!
Kevin
