Default Existing Stain on Oak

Have some cabinets that I'm replacing the Cab. Doors and Drawer Fronts
on. Cabinets and Faceframes are Oak stained and urathaned, That 70's
Show look. I'd like to stain the faceframes and side panels with a Java
Gel Stain or Expresso Gel, darker look. Then Gel the new doors and
drawer fronts to match.

I'm assuming I need to strip the urathane, but how do you deal with the
existing stain? Or will mulitple coats of gel cover the tight grain of
oak?

Thanks in Advance


Tight grain? On oak?
Might be hard to get the urethane out of the pores but if you manage that
and sand to bare wood, it should turn out great.
