    Refinishing a finish

    I'm still working on getting the correct look on the hope chest I built. I used brich plywood and poplar. Per the advice I received here, I also applied the shellac and then the gel stain and everything turned out beautiful except the front (why couldn't it have been the back:crybaby2: ). The...
