    I have a Chinese medicine chest of drawers in, I believe, rosewood which I’d like to stain a dark brown. (It’s currently a reddish, orangey brown). It may have a seal on it as it’s pretty shiny. There are raised Cinese characters on each of the 24 square fronted drawers. Am a novice and welcome all advice.
