I think they must burnish or somehow finish out the raw wood in a way that closes up the grain. It's definitely a real wood top, at the very least. Painting and waxing it makes me happy, tho, so I'm not gonna complain. hahaCareyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03171438663649610756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348831449955359083.post-47770983331808864002012-12-01T22:54:21.825-06:002012-12-01T22:54:21.825-06:00Love it!!!

I think the re...Love it!!! What a great idea!!! <br /><br />I think the reason it didn't take the stain is because it isn't real wood. Most new pieces made today(IKEA especially) are not. Typically it will have a fake wood on top of plywood. Chances are you were trying to stain the fake wood. :) I could be totally wrong on this too, but that's the only reason I could figure why it wouldn't work.<br /><br />Also, thanks for stopping by The Rustic Pig the other day! I love your blog...I'm your newest follower... I posted this in response to your comment about the Lewisville Santa... just in case you didn't get it.. "Hi Carey!! Yes!! We just moved from the Dallas area (Lantana & Flower Mound)in June. I taught at Bridlewood. :) We were there for 9 years! I love that the malls there all keep the same Santa!! My favorite was the one at Stonebriar! Isn't it such a small world!?? Glad you stopped by!!
