Hi, I've been given a solid pine coffee table that has got a clear varnish on it at the moment. Because the colour doesn't fit in with the rest of the furniture in the lounge (Dark Oak) I was hoping to darken it down to roughly match. A friend suggested a wood dye. I've never used a wood dye before. Could someone please advise me on whether this is suitable, and if so also talk me through the stripping, preparation, application and finishing processes. The table top is a solid piece of pine, about 2" 1/2" thick. At the end of the day I hope to have natural or satin finish (not gloss).
Thanks
