You will not be able to use a regular stain on this if it has a finish on it now as the stain will be able to penetrate into the wood. You will need to use a product such as Minwax Polyshades hwich is stain and polyurethane together and it is made for this type of situation. You can sand it lightly to smooth it out and to make sure the polyshade adhears, and be sure to wipe the sanding dust off with a rag dampened with mineral spirits to be sure there is not any wax or such on it.
I am not sure about removing the glass but I would think it could be removed.
Hope this helps out. |
