Hello, I was wondering can anyone identify this type of wood used in my project ?. I forgot my self and I want to buy a varnish and wood filler for it. Any suggestions, what varnish is the best and bring out the best results, as well as wood filler for joints. I know they are not the best images but what can I do with a crappy phone Thanks (is this any good ?[url=http://www.ebay.ie/itm/BUY-3-GET-1-FREE-ANTIQUE-PINE-VARNISH-PAINT-180ml-GLOSS-HOME-HIGH-PERFORMANCE-/181127570339?pt=UK_DIY_Material_Paint_Varnish_MJ&hash=item2a2c0b63a3#ht_1966wt_1163]BUY 3 GET 1 FREE ANTIQUE PINE VARNISH PAINT 180ml GLOSS HOME HIGH PERFORMANCE | eBay[/url])

We recently bought a house and are trying to upgrade the kitchen. Next summer, budget allowing, we hope to redo the floor, countertops, and backsplash. Right now we are focused on the cabinets. I've been considering staining them but am a little intimidated by how much work it'll be. The real issues are 1) There is a large crack along the frame of one of the cabinets -- fairly high up so its not that noticeable, but of course I stare at it every time I enter the kitchen. And, 2) The hardware is terrible. The problem with swapping out the hardware is I would like to go vertical with it, but then we will have at least one visible hole to repair. Is there any way we can hide that hole without restaining the entire cabinet? Similarly, while the cabinet crack has been repaired, it is a different shade from the rest of the wood -- can that be fixed? Or do we really have to restain all the cabinets at this point? If we DONT restain, can we 'freshen up' the cabinets with a good scrubbing with something? (Even though there's a veneer of some sort on them?) Can I assume the wood will take stain well when stripped & sanded? (In other words, is this a DIY project we can take on confident we won't be making the cabinets worse with our efforts?) Also, just curious, does anyone know what type of wood this is?
