Stripped and Stained Wood Shift ****
Well....the shift **** I bought online didn't really match my burlwood panels (looked like a match).....the **** was too golden brown....so I stripped it (Jasco), stained it (MinWax), and then dipped it several times in Polyurethane.
Here's the results. What you think?

I suffer from the same thing. My shifter is just slightly more brown in tone than red. Now I have the answer although probably not the skill...

This was the 1st time I ever did something like this (unless you count my DIY chrome grill). First time I ever stripped wood, stained wood, or worked with polyurethane....so I was at Home Depot and Lowes asking so many questions.
Its pretty simple....takes alot of patience though. The hardest part was finding the stain that matches.

yummy
nice job...
