Take a look at my table in my profile, if you like the way mine turned out when I stained it I can dig up the stain that I used. I tried at 10 different shades/tints/brands before I found one that I thought matched the rails good. It will look slightly different on the legs than the rail blinds. The blinds are Maple, the leg sides Poplar, center is plywood, not sure which species.
Is the only mica on the top cap of the rail? Is the rest of the table wood ,that is sand-able?im looking for a gold crown and would love to sand and stain it. Just not to sure if there are different models. Thought I have heard there are rosewood models?
