Homemade Natural & Effective Wood Stains
Lee, years ago I was not a DIY person as well but one day someone gave me an idea and everything changed. You could consider watching many videos on YouTube? My best advice is not to be in a hurry to get your project done. If you find yourself getting aggravated stop immediately. Get up and walk away. Most, if not all DIYER'S know this. Further, those chairs need to be glued (wood glue) and clamped. Don't have clamps? Use a belt. Watch videos on repairing wood chairs. Your only other option is to pay someone to do it for you. I have to say that I have repaired and repainted the same piece(s) many times and was so irritated but in the end...you learn.
You can get rid of the water marks by pouring boiling water directly on them. Trust me , this works !
