goal was to make it at least look better.<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/2011\/10\/16\/revamped-and-revised\/img_1092\/\" rel=\"attachment

a definite contrast in the appearance. \u00a0Also, you can see the damage that I could not sand out. \u00a0 I like the walnut because it matches the dark pigmentation on the bamboo. \u00a0After the stain dried, I applied one coat of dark Briwax.<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/2011\/10\/16\/revamped-and-revised\/img_1170-2\/\" rel=\"attachment
