Philco 51 lowboy DONE
#5

FWIW, I did what would normally not be recommended! I quickly stripped this in about an hour and a half, first thing in the morning. A hour later, I stained the whole thing with alcohol based mahogany dye. An hour later, I rattle-can sprayed the whole thing with Deft sanding sealer. An hour after that, I filled the top only. All on the same day. 2 days later, I hit it with 2 shots of rattle-can Mohawk Perfect Brown, followed by 3 coats of Deft gloss and ending with one coat of semi-gloss. The results were fine.
