[QUOTE="streak, post: 2396245, member: 11744"] sand it really good with a 220 grit sand paper. You should then only need to put on 1 coat of stain. Put it on with a foam brush, wipe it off with a cotton rag probably 20 seconds later. Then coat with a quality polyurethane at whatever sheen you prefer. (I like glossy or high gloss) I like to do 2 coats of the clear top coat, sand with a 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper (wet), wipe down with a lent free cloth (cheese cloth). Add another coat and thos time "sand/polish" with a super fine steel wool, again clean with cheese cloth. coat once more for super smooth finish. You can actually do the last steps of clear coat as many times as you like however if you get poly to thick it can begin to take on a fake plastic look (think cheap mexican restraunt tables) Enjoy!
