x 2!! I'll ask our painter. I would thing you would need to sand it down, then use a fine grit to smooth. Then, start applying the stain, allow to dry. Then apply the coats of sealer/varnish. Will the door get direct sun when it's where you are going to put it? Have you considered painting it?
Oh yes! Sanding, painting. Either a muted red or blue for the base color. Then antique write over top and then distressed and sealed. I'm going for a patriotic shabby chic.
Poor Nugget! I was nervous, because I didn't want to do it wrong. But I did it! And it all went so smooth and the Nugget was very peaceful actually. I think I will try to do the rest of them in the same way so they go off to freezerland in that same peaceful way.
awesome job
