The table is solid wood. What is the best way to sand it? Belt sander,
pad sander, manual. What grit works best.


I'd use a random orbital sander with 100 grit, 220, 320. Belt sander
would be faster, but in the hands of the inexperienced, you dan do a lot of
damage, very quickly.


If I did choose an oil finish, is it possible to go to poly finish later?

Yes. If you wax the oil finish, you'll have to remove the wax first. I
forgot to mention in my last post, after all of the polishing, paste wax is
the final step also.
