How to Gel Stain Kitchen Cabinets (with Antique Walnut, General Finishes Gel Stain) Step by Step

I used General Finishes Gel Stain on my golden honey oak kitchen cabinets to transform them to an antique walnut! With 2 coats of antique walnut, the color does seem to get a little closer to looking like the Java Gel Stain, but its not quite that dark, and its just the color I was looking for. Dark, but not too dark! Join me step by step as I take these old cabinets and turn them into something new!
