Existing Stain on Oak

Have some cabinets that I'm replacing the Cab. Doors and Drawer Fronts on.Cabinets and Faceframes are Oak stained and urathaned, That 70's Show look. I'd like to stain the faceframes and side panels with a Java Gel Stain or Expresso Gel, darker look. Then Gel the new doors and drawer fronts to match.I'm assuming I need to strip the urathane, but how do you deal with the existing stain? Or will mulitple coats of gel cover the tight grain of oak?Thanks in Advance
