How to stain an old wooden side table?

I just got an old wooden side table. it is old, looks worn, and even has some water stains. it has a bit of a red oak color. I still think it can be given a new life by staining it.
Can someoe give me some advice on how to do this, maybe a web site where I can find detailed instructions?

you first have to give it a light sanding with 100 or 120 grit paper,clean it off good with a tack cloth,choose a stain that will mask the water stains,darker is better,rub your stain in with a cloth,old cotton t-shirt or something similar.be careful not to overlap or you will have dark lines.then finish with a poly if you choose.
