Restaining timber?

[cossie]

Hi Guys,

I'm looking at buying a bar for my family room, but all the ones I have found are the wrong colour. I want a more modern looking black bar but all I can find are brown ones, mahogany, teak, blackwood type colours.

Is it possible to recolour it? would it need sanding back to bare timber then re-staining in black?

If its possible to do, I may just buy a 2nd hand one out the trading post and redo it.

Or am I just wasting my time completely?

thanks :)

Why not ask the shop if they can get one finiahed in black for you. It's highly possible they can and probably for little or no extra cost.
