It took so incredibly long to strip these, and now that they're finally ready, I realize I have absolutely no idea of how I'm going to proceed from here. I intended to stain them, but I'm completely baffled by all the choice of color. Most worrisome - how can I possibly ensure the legs match the veneer on the body? I had no idea the colors would be so different from one another and have no clue as to how I might be able to achieve uniform color. Any ideas? Thank you!
