Re-coloring curio cabinet

My brother Ramesh Dasari purchased a curio cabinet from craigslist, we thought of re-coloring it as it is oak color when purchased and all the home furniture is cherry color. Google results suggested us to sand the cabinet and apply galssy stain paint. We started doing that resulted in multi colored curio cabinet.

Later did lot of R&D and come to known that there is a specific process in re-coloring like the way the Government re-construct the highway roads.As most of you aware that to re-construct a road one cannot directly construct road on existing road, first remove all the layers of road and start from the scratch.Similarly to our curio cabinet we started removing the existing Oak color, for that we brought Stripper which is a color remover, it took 4 days to extract the actual wood out of it as we tried to remove the color we painted and the Oak color which is already existed and also white color used as prime originally. This process also includes the sanding (using sand paper remove the thin layer of color)

Finally the actual wood is visible on most parts of the cabinet. Now applied conditioner and Prime(Red Morgan color), after two coats of Prime color we can able to make a beautiful dark cherry colored Curio cabinet . After cleaning the glasses with nail remover, the curio shines like a new one.
