Refinishing dining room table? ? ?
Table is solid -- sander is adjustable for orbit or backward/forward motion.

We have a rather nice mahogany dining room table that is beginning to need
refinishing after 30 years of reasonably careful use.
I'm thinkng of doing this job myself. I have a hand sander.
A few questions:
1. Do I need to remove the old high-gloss varnish before saning?
2. Is sanding likely to significantly change the color of the wood?
3. If it does, can I get a stain that will restore it?
4. After staining, should I apply several coats of high gloss
polyurethane?
5. How do I prevent, bubbles, which I've gotten in the past when I used
polyurethant?
Any guidance appreciated.
Is it a nice table, is it veneer. Is sander random orbit. Without
seeing it cant say but a sander may ruin it.
