Picking up a new tank, what to do with stand?

[Miguel4u2]

Hi guys. I am picking up a tank on thursday with wood stand and was wondering what can i do to "sparkle" up the stand. It looks old and like it need to be re-finished or stained again. So what should i do? I can always count on you guys!

sand, stain, wax and buff..

add some stainless handles on the doors

Is that water damage along the bottom there? That's going to require some sanding.

Its a nice looking cabinet though, I think if you put a little work into it it would clean up pretty nicely.

I like the idea of stainless handles too.

looks like my homemade stand, id go with the new hardware and a darker stain i used early american its a dark rich golden idk what you call it but it really brings out the color and natural feal of the wood and with a nice clear coat it looks sexy and there you go but make sure you cleAN AND SAND ANY BAD SPOT ON THE WOOD BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING TO IT, PREP IS KEY.
