I am refinishing the cabinet of a 47-1230. I was wondering if anyone knew the procedure for staining the cabinet. The wood is naturally 2 different shades. The bottom of the sides is a darker wood than the top of the sides. Do I get a walnut stain and use the same on the top and bottom and it would turn out the way it should or do I need another stain for the top lighter part and then put the clear over it? Or do I just clear it and the shades would be right considering it is 2 different colors of wood to start with? Any Advice on this would be appreciated. Thanks, Warren
