Sleigh finish
tstryk,
Like you, I had never used gel stain - it certainly did not look like Michael's!
After sanding that off I used Polyshades (Olde maple) instead - don't really like an all-in-one kind of thing but it came out better for me.
I had put on too many coats of thinned sealer I guess because the gel stain did not worked as I had hoped.
Ken,
